New Report from U-Haul Reveals that Colorado is a Popular Relocation Destination!

If anyone knows where people are moving to and from, it’s U-Haul International!

This past week, U-Haul released the results of its annual, “U-Haul National Migration Trend Report,” and Colorado was ranked at the top! Colorado had the highest growth rate among states with more than 20,000 families moving. How is this figure calculated? It’s simple. According to U-Haul, 7.01 percent more families moved into our state last year than moved out of it. The data were compiled from compiled from U-Haul’s over 1.61 million transactions in 2007. Other high growth states included Oregon, Kentucky, and Virginia.

This good news comes on the heels of several major companies, including ConocoPhillips and VMware, announcing relocation plans to our great state. It’s clear why Colorado, especially the Denver metro area, is becoming an increasingly popular relocation destination. This is no suprise, as Colorado is a very desirable place to live with its diversified economy, appealing climate, and gorgeous scenery. In addition, the Colorado economy and real estate market are both proving to be much more more resilient  to the current economic downturn than many other states.
