Americans keep moving to Texas and Florida — but one other red state is growing even faster

Texas and Florida are drawing the largest number of new residents, but South Carolina is growing faster than any other state, with over 59,000 new residents from other states between 2022 and 2023. The trend highlights a broader shift toward the South, driven by lower taxes, more jobs, and higher quality of life. This shift is likely to boost local economies in the state as new residents bring spending power and help fill open jobs.
