Pack up: People are moving to Nashville from these US cities

Welcome home, fellow Nashvillians.

U-Haul has released its 2024 mid-year report on migration trends, tracking the origins of U-Haul trucks arriving in the 25 most populated cities in the US, including Nashville. Let’s take a look at who’s moved into our city from where — and if you’re new around here, we’ve got even more to share.

The moving trends

So, where are folks coming from? According to U-Haul, here are the top three metropolitan areas outside our state that people are moving to Music City from:

• Atlanta, GA
• Dallas/Fort Worth, TX (oh hey, DALtoday + FTWtoday)

Welcome to Tennessee, friends. But that’s not all — our fellow Tennesseans are also moving around quite a bit. Here are the top three cities within Tennessee that U-Haul customers are arriving to Nashville from:
