- Between 2021 and 2022, about 668,300 people moved into Texas, according to Census data.
- Many movers to Texas are unmarried millennial renters coming from California, Florida, and New York.
- Recent movers to Texas said they are motivated at least in part by a lower cost of living.
The typical American moving to Texas doesn't own a home, isn't married, and makes about $50,600.
A Business Insider analysis of individual-level data from the Census Bureau's 2022 American Community Survey, assembled by the University of Minnesota's IPUMS program, found that people moving to Texas are more likely to be millennials, less likely to be homeowners, and make slightly more a year than those leaving Texas.
