Home Factors 
Americans are reshaping the nation’s housing map. In 2024, 25.87 million people, 7.8% of the U.S. population, packed up and moved. Career opportunities, more space, better schools, and a simple change of scenery were among the top reasons. But in 2025, where people are moving tells an even bigger story.
A new MovingPlace.com Report highlights the ZIP codes attracting the most movers and why. Based on 6.3 million moves between January and May 2025, the data shows a clear trend: affordability, space, and lifestyle are pulling people away from pricey city centers toward fast-growing suburbs.
