Migration to Texas from other states has fallen for the 3rd year in a row. In fact, in-migration has sunk to the lowest level since 2005. The state’s rapid growth is over. Texas is still getting more in-migration than states like New York and California, but I predict that in just a few years people will start moving out.
Florida also has seen a major decline of people moving in, even more steep than Texas.
On the other hand midwestern states have seen an increase in population after years of decline. Personally, I would much rather live in Atwood, Kansas, or Cozad, Nebraska, than in Dallas or Miami.
Some info for this post is from J; David Goodman and Jeff Adelson, “Trend of Migration to Texas Falls for 3rd Year in a Row,” New York Times, (Jan. 31, 2026), p. A10.
