The U-Haul company has released new data that identifies the most popular cities that Americans migrated to in 2016. This data is based on the net gain of one-way U-Haul truck rental transactions over departures that occurred during the year. While the migration trends do not provide details on population or economic growth, many use it to gauge which cities are most attractive to residents.
Madison, WI
U-Haul’s data showed that Madison, Wisconsin was the most popular city to make a one-way trip to this past year. Madison, which is Wisconsin's capital, had an estimated population size of 248,951 as of July 1, 2015.
