U-Haul released its 2024 Growth Metros and Cities report on January 3, 2025, identifying Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington as the leading U-Haul Growth Metro for the year. Charlotte, Phoenix, Lakeland, and Austin followed in the top five U.S. growth metros. This data is compiled from over 2.5 million one-way truck, trailer, and U-Box transactions. Ocala, Florida, was named the No. 1 growth city for the second time in three years, continuing a five-year trend of Florida destinations leading the growth city rankings. South Carolina topped the U-Haul Growth Index as the leading growth state for the first time. These rankings provide insights into migration trends across the U.S. and Canada. Sean Fullerton, U-Haul Company of South Central Dallas president, attributed Dallas's growth to job growth, rising wages, and tax breaks. The U-Haul Growth Index serves as an indicator of where people are moving, directly impacting demand for U-Haul's services. This information helps U-Haul strategically position its resources.
