Maybe buy real estate in Myrtle Beach? There were only 376,000 people in the metro area in 2010, but they gained 138,000 more via domestic migration alone.
Note: Looking at the data more, it may be that this may be explained by people moving for retirement.
I wonder if Los Angles was combined with San Bernardino/Riverside, if the total net influx would be near the top. Much of LA's "loss" is just people moving to the exurbs.
No. Los Angeles has a loss more than 5 times greater than Riverside's gain. Not to mention that the state as a whole is losing population despite massive international immigration. Americans really are leaving Southern California in large numbers.
Not surprised at Phoenix. We retired to this area seven years ago and we already don't recognize some parts of our town due to the exploding development - commercial as well as residential. Just as the climate grows hotter and AZ water supplies get tighter and tighter. Now wondering why we're here.
My dream house would be located in a Rural Place. Preferably Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, North Dakota. I'll point out Idaho because I watched a splendid documentary on the state not too long ago.
I respectfully disagree, because Rural Areas generally have less Job Opportunities, and the nearest house might be a half hour away. I would want to live in a suburb just like the one I live in now, except maybe in a metro area with a slightly better reputation, like Seattle.
My dream house would be a high-rise condo in the middle of a city, but unless I somehow become a millionaire, that's not gonna happen, so I guess i'll stick to the suburbs.
I was just gonna comment on this. Mongolia seems like a nice place overall, but isn't it frigid? This quiz says it's, on average, the third coldest country in the world. And unlike Canada and Russia, where most of the population lives in the somewhat warmer areas, Mongolia seems uniformly cold everywhere. Thanks, but no.
Found this one significantly harder than the one from which cities people are leaving. Thankfully my city isn't on this list yet, though it feels like we're being invaded by Californians!
Yep. I live in Fort Myers. Everybody in SWFL knows that Cape Coral is a good bit more populous - more than twice as populous, actually, even though FM is the county seat.
Quizmaster, please see here: It's in the first paragraph. "Cape Coral" should also be accepted.
So many of these places are going to be excruciatingly hot and dry or getting pounded by rising seas in the not too distant future.
I have a feeling that properties in the northern rust belt states and lake regions are going to explode once it becomes clear that the sun belt will eventually be uninhabitable.
I knew for a fact that Dallas is #1 because a friend who lives there has mentioned it, but I seriously cannot understand why. It's such a dull place. I understand why people are moving to Texas generally, but Dallas...no. Even the people I know who come from there don't have much to say about it. Go to Austin.
You are correct. There is still affordable housing in Dallas/Ft. Worth, but it's pretty much non-existent at this point in Austin, at least not in the city proper.
I have a cousin who just moved to Dallas for a job opportunity. That seems to be a big thing that draws people to Dallas, even if it is a "dull" city (although having never been there myself, I don't know whether or not I would agree with that).
As a South Carolinian, I'm a little surprised that Myrtle Beach made it on here. I knew that the general trend in migration has been to move to the Sun Belt (i.e. the southeast and southwest), but I didn't think too many people were moving to South Carolina. It makes sense, though, given how Myrtle is a popular destination for retirees

Mongolia: The last best place.
-job opportunities become more scarce
-rapidly rising costs of living
economy aint everything
Denver is not even very cold.

I don’t live in Texas but that’s the impression I’ve got.
