It is the fifth consecutive year a Florida destination has headlined the U-Haul growth city rankings.\n\"There are two main reasons people are moving to Ocala,\" said Brady Rome, U-Haul Company of Gainesville president. \"The primary reason is cost of living, simply being that it’s lower than almost anywhere in the state. It allows housing to be a more affordable option for families packing up their U-Haul and moving to central Florida. The second reason is the job market, which remains strong with the addition of so many manufacturing jobs. The healthcare industry has also seen massive growth in the past year and is a driving force of employment. And you can’t go without mentioning Ocala is the ‘Horse Capital of the World.’ The equestrian center is huge and continues to bring people here.\"\nThe Sunshine State has five of the top 25 growth cities. Tennessee, Washington and Alabama each have three. Virginia boasts two of the top four cities, Fredericksburg and Lorton, both located within 50 miles of Washington, D.C.\n2024 Top 25 U-Haul Growth Cities (city propers outside the top metros)\n\n\n\n1.\nOcala, FL\n\n\n2.\nFredericksburg, VA\n\n\n3.\nKissimmee, FL\n\n\n4.\nLorton, VA\n\n\n5.\nMyrtle Beach, SC\n\n\n6.\nCollege Station, TX\n\n\n7.\nKnoxville, TN\n\n\n8.\nTukwila, WA\n\n\n9.\nJohnson City, TN\n\n\n10.\nFoley, AL\n\n\n11.\nSpartanburg, SC\n\n\n12.\nAuburn, AL\n\n\n13.\nCookeville, TN\n\n\n14.\nHuntsville, AL\n\n\n15.\nClermont, FL\n\n\n16.\nIowa City, IA\n\n\n17.\nTacoma, WA\n\n\n18.\nPort St. Lucie, FL\n\n\n19.\nVancouver, WA\n\n\n20.\nMissoula, MT\n\n\n21.\nPanama City, FL\n\n\n22.\nMadison, WI\n\n\n23.\nCorvallis, OR\n\n\n24.\nConcord, NH\n\n\n25.\nKingman, AZ\n\n\n\nWhile U-Haul rankings may not correlate directly to population or economic growth, the U-Haul Growth Index is an effective gauge of how well states, metros and cities are attracting and maintaining residents.\nU-Haul is the authority on migration trends thanks to its expansive network that blankets all 50 states and 10 Canadian provinces.
