2020 Migration Trends: U-Haul Names Top 25 U.S. Growth Cities

PHOENIX, Jan. 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — North Port, Fla., ranks as the top U-Haul® growth city in America for 2020, according to Company data analyzing U.S. migration trends during one of the more turbulent moving seasons in modern history.

…

North Port is the No. 1 growth city as 3 Florida markets top the list of 25 cities where U-Haul customers moved in 2020.

North Port, an up-and-coming district in Sarasota County with easy access to the Gulf Coast and Interstate 75, leads the list of cities that saw many more do-it-yourself movers coming rather than going in 2020 – a year defined by the coronavirus pandemic.

Kissimmee, at the doorstep to world-famous theme parks, retains its No. 2 ranking on the list. Port St. Lucie gives Florida a sweep of the top three growth markets. Alabama’s Auburn–Opelika corridor climbs to No. 4, while the Wisconsin capital of Madison – the leading growth city of 2016 – rounds out the top five.

Thirteen of the top 25 growth cities are in the Southeast, with five in Florida. Tennessee, the top U-Haul growth state of 2020, lands two cities on the list along with Alabama, California, Colorado, Georgia, Texas and Wisconsin.

Despite California’s out-migration numbers that rank it last among growth states, the markets of Sacramento–Roseville and Redding made the growth cities list as popular destinations for movers aiming to stay in-state.

Growth cities are calculated by the net gain of one-way U-Haul trucks entering a city versus leaving that city in a calendar year. Migration trends data is compiled from more than 2 million one-way U-Haul truck customer transactions that occur annually. Neighboring cities in certain markets are packaged together for U-Haul migration purposes.

«People are packing up their U-Haul trucks and heading to North Port because it’s an affordable place to live, and it’s central to Fort Myers and Sarasota,» said Dave Thompson, U-Haul Company of Western Florida president. «I’m not surprised North Port is the new No. 1 U-Haul growth city because the atmosphere is relaxed, and it’s close to the beaches. Everyone wants to live in paradise. The North Port area is expanding. There are new shopping centers and restaurants everywhere you look. The Atlanta Braves baseball team just moved their spring training site to North Port. There’s something for everyone here.»

Arrivals of one-way U-Haul trucks into North Port jumped 40% while departures rose just 13% compared to the city’s 2019 numbers. Arrivals accounted for 62.3% of all one-way U-Haul traffic in the North Port area.

Additional U.S. growth cities with substantial spikes in customer arrivals include Kissimmee (30%), Knoxville (23%), Tyler (21%), Ashville (28%) and Charleston (40%).

«We have an influx of customers moving to Kissimmee because the cost of living is relatively low,» said Miguel Caminos, U-Haul Company of Orlando president. «Year-over-year population and median household income is growing 3% to 5% annually. Keep in mind this is a small city, not really a metro like neighboring Orlando. One of the major draws for most people considering a move here is all the activities and attractions.»

While U-Haul migration trends do not correlate directly to population or economic growth, the Company’s growth data is an effective gauge of how well cities and states are attracting and maintaining residents.

U-Haul is the authority on migration trends thanks to its expansive network that blankets all 50 states and 10 Canadian provinces. The geographical coverage from more than 22,000 U-Haul truck- and trailer-sharing locations provides a comprehensive overview of where people are moving like no one else in the industry.

2020 Migration Trends: People are Moving Again, Exiting New York City and the SF Bay Area

PHOENIX, Jan. 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The COVID-19 pandemic has coincided with more do-it-yourself movers leaving densely populated U.S. areas, specifically New York City and the San Francisco Bay Area, according to a U-Haul® special report analyzing migration trends from 2020.

<a…

The SF Bay Area and New York City were among the most prevalent out-migration U.S. markets in 2020, according to U-Haul.

U-Haul transaction data also reveals Americans are moving again in growing numbers, and have been since May.

In addition to its annual growth states and growth cities rankings and reports, U-Haul considered the potential influence the virus had on self-movers, and looked at regions where overwhelming demand for one-way U-Haul trucks mirrored consistent out-migration.

«While some people were hesitant to move during shelter-in-place mandates, those who moved were doing so out of necessity,» U-Haul President John «J.T.» Taylor said. «We have been open and available to help all along as an essential service provider. As 2020 went along, we saw that more and more individuals and families recognized they can move safely.»

From the time that President Trump declared the pandemic a National Emergency in March, the 30 most populated U.S. cities (based on 2019 Census estimates) all witnessed more U-Haul trucks departing than arriving over the next three months. This indicated customers who were able to move, on the whole, were looking to escape urban cores for less-crowded destinations.

The Bay Area and New York City were among the most prevalent out-migration markets in U.S. during this three-month period – and throughout 2020.

San Francisco was a slight growth city in 2019, with more U-Haul trucks entering the city than leaving it. But in 2020, San Francisco was the epicenter of the Bay Area’s exodus. Departures accounted for 58% of all one-way U-Haul traffic from March through June. Limited fleet inventory prevented the numbers from being more lopsided in favor of departures. The ratios in San Jose and Oakland were similar.

For the entire Bay Area, arrivals from March-December 2020 dropped 31% year-over-year, while departures tapered by just 12% from their 2019 pace to create the disparity of more trucks going out than coming in.

Like San Francisco, New York City welcomed more self-movers than it bid farewell in 2019. That migration trend reversed in 2020. Severe stagnation occurred during the shutdown. From March to June, arrivals to the five boroughs plummeted 58% year-over-year, while departures were curbed only by limited fleet inventory as trucks left the city.

From March-December 2020, U-Haul arrivals to New York City were down 35% year-over-year.

LEAVING NEW YORK CITY

Top destination cities for U-Haul customers leaving New York City during the pandemic include Bridgeport, Poughkeepsie and New Haven. Outside the Northeast, the top destination is Chicago in the Midwest and Atlanta in the South.

The top 10 states DIY movers from New York City are migrating to are: New York (outside NYC); New Jersey; Pennsylvania; Connecticut; Massachusetts; Virginia; Maryland; Florida; Rhode Island; and North Carolina.

LEAVING THE BAY AREA

Top destination cities for U-Haul customers leaving the Bay Area during the pandemic include the Sacramento/Roseville corridor, San Diego and Stockton. Outside of California, the top destinations are Reno, Las Vegas, Portland, Phoenix and Seattle.

The top 10 states DIY movers from the Bay Area customers are migrating to are: California (outside the Bay Area); Nevada; Arizona; Oregon; Washington; Colorado; Texas; Utah; Idaho; and New Mexico.

PEOPLE ARE MOVING AGAIN

Self-moves sputtered in April when shutdowns across the country generated uncertainty. But starting in May, one-way U-Haul truck rentals began to rise with each passing month. May is traditionally the start of the summer moving season, with nearly half of all household moves occurring between Memorial Day and Labor Day weekends.

2020 REBOUND: SELF-MOVES SURGE AFTER U.S. SHUTDOWN

MONTH	One-Way U-Haul Truck Rentals in 2020 Compared to the Previous Month
March	+5%
April	-21%
May	+72%
June	+13%
July	+15%
August	+1%

Taylor noted that contactless business options like U-Haul Truck Share 24/7® with built-in social distancing protocols, and enhanced equipment sanitation, reassure customers about using U-Haul. There is also the added appeal to a self-move during the pandemic, minimizing exposure from others during the process of relocating one’s family and belongings.

SIGNIFICANT SAMPLE SIZE

Migration trends data is compiled from more than 2 million one-way U-Haul truck-sharing transactions that occur annually. U-Haul is the authority on migration trends thanks to its expansive network that blankets all 50 states and 10 Canadian provinces, offering a comprehensive overview of where people are moving like no one else in the industry.

U-Haul, headquartered in Phoenix and celebrating 75 years in business, releases its growth cities and growth states rankings and reports each January to recap the past year. Find those releases and more at myuhaulstory.com.

Kansas City Chiefs Remain Super Bowl Favorites as NFL Playoffs Begin

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — With the NFL Playoffs now set, the favorite to win the Super Bowl remains unchanged from the NFL’s preseason odds, according to analysts TheLines, which tracks odds in the U.S. regulated sports betting market.

With an expanded format of 14 teams, the reigning champion Kansas City…

With an expanded format of 14 teams, the reigning champion Kansas City Chiefs unsurprisingly open the playoffs as +220 favorite, according to a consensus of the nation’s largest legal online sportsbooks — including DraftKings, FanDuel, PointsBet, PlaySugarHouse, BetMGM, Unibet, and William Hill. The Chiefs opened the season as +600 favorites, meaning bettors would win $600 for every $100 wagered.

While Kansas City has remained on top, much else has changed, including several preseason longshots moving toward the top. The Green Bay Packers, the only other team to receive a first-round playoff bye in the new format, open the playoffs as the NFC favorite at +450. Green Bay opened the season at +3100. The Buffalo Bills open at +700, moving from +2500 before the first week.

Not coincidentally, the three Super Bowl favorites entering the playoffs are led by the three favorites to win the NFL MVP award. That includes Aaron Rodgers, whose strong finish catapulted him from relative longshot to prohibitive favorite at -2500, followed by Josh Allen (+1000) and preseason favorite Patrick Mahomes (+1500).

«The Chiefs have been remarkably steady all year, but anyone who bet on the Packers or Bills to win the Super Bowl before the season began has to be excited now,» said Brett Collson, lead analyst for TheLines.com. «The odds will shift dramatically each week of the playoffs, and there will be plenty of twists and turns. The main certainty, though, is that the NFL playoffs drives bettors to sportsbooks like no other event on the sports calendar.»

The current odds for each playoff team to win Super Bowl LV as of Monday, Jan. 4 (with preseason odds):

Kansas City Chiefs +220 (+600)
Green Bay Packers +450 (+3100)
Buffalo Bills +700 (+2500)
New Orleans Saints +750 (+1200)
Tampa Bay Buccaneers +1000 (+1500)
Baltimore Ravens +1100 (+650)
Seattle Seahawks +1300 (+2000)
Pittsburgh Steelers +2000 (+2500)
Tennessee Titans +2800 (+3000)
Los Angeles Rams +3300 (+4000)
Indianapolis Colts +4000 (+2300)
Cleveland Browns +5000 (+3400)
Chicago Bears +9000 (+4400)
Washington Football Team +10000 (+17000)

The consensus point spreads for Wild Card Weekend, as of Monday, Jan. 4:

Indianapolis Colts at Buffalo Bills (-7); over/under 52
Los Angeles Rams at Seattle Seahawks (-4.5); over/under 42.5
Tampa Bay Buccaneers (-8) at Washington Football Team; over/under 46.5
Baltimore Ravens (-3.5) at Tennessee Titans; over/under 54.5
Chicago Bears at New Orleans Saints (-9.5); over/under 47.5
Cleveland Browns at Pittsburgh Steelers (-4); over/under 46.5

GC3 Applauds Enactment of Sustainable Chemistry R&D Act

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The Green Chemistry & Commerce Council (GC3) applauds the passage of the Sustainable Chemistry Research & Development Act. Enacted as part of the FY21 National Defense Authorization Act, this measure will accelerate research in an exciting area of innovation that offers U.S. economic growth, as well as a myriad of other benefits. «In particular, the GC3 appreciates the bipartisan leadership of Senators Chris Coons (D-DE)…

Sustainable chemistry is the scientific discipline that allows innovators to redesign products and manufacturing processes starting at the molecular level, so they have better health, environmental and energy use profiles. There is surging global market demand for the use of sustainable chemistry in the development and manufacturing of products across virtually all consumer, commercial and military markets. The Sustainable Chemistry R&D Act helps coordinate efforts across all federal agencies to accelerate US innovation in this emerging area of market growth.

The GC3 represents the entire value chain of the U.S. economy—feedstock suppliers, chemical manufacturers, brand companies and retailers—and GC3 members have collectively called for a more concerted federal effort to stimulate the research and development that is needed to unlock the potential of sustainable chemistry.

«Consumers today are voting with their wallets for safer personal care products and green chemistry innovation will help us meet this growing demand. We applaud Congress for recognizing the potential of green chemistry to transform consumer markets and better protect public health.» – Gregg Renfrew, Founder and CEO, Beautycounter
«BASF proudly supports the Sustainable Chemistry Research and Development Act. Our purpose, ‘We create chemistry for a sustainable future,’ reflects what we do and why we do it. We want to contribute to a world that provides a viable future with enhanced quality of life for everyone. We are encouraged by the enactment of this legislation that seeks to coordinate federal activities including research, development, demonstration, commercialization, education and training efforts in sustainable chemistry.» – Mitch Toomey, Director of Sustainability for North America, BASF Corporation
«Safer and more sustainable products is a key design principle for product development at RB. We are delighted to see this bill pass, and look forward to strong collaboration across supply chains and with external stakeholders to advance the development and adoption of sustainable chemistry.» – Jennifer Duran, Global Director, Product Sustainability, RB
«The Sustainable Chemistry Research & Development Act will further enable more sustainable innovation across the entire value chain in the U.S. as we all work together to help catalyze the systemic change needed to address some of the most challenging and complex environmental issues we all face today.» – Victor Aguilar, Chief Research, Development and Innovation Officer, Procter & Gamble

«The GC3 and our member companies have worked for years to pass the Sustainable Chemistry R&D Act. It represents a tremendous step forward in accelerating progress toward more sustainable chemistry for every kind of product on the market today – and even better products for the future,» said Jalbert.

Online users benefit of the following advantages when using brokerage websites or insurers’ official websites to obtain car insurance quotes:

Get estimates anytime and anywhere. Drivers can research the insurance market to find a better car policy from the comfort of their homes. They no longer have to travel in bad weather from one physical insurance agency to another. Physical agencies have fixed schedules, while online quotes can be obtained at any hour of day or night.
Get estimates really fast. The number of persons that are willing to spend time by going from one insurance agency to another is getting smaller each year. Phone quotes are also a thing of the past. Online quotes take only a few minutes to complete and can save precious time that can be used for other purposes.
Find better insurance rates. Typically, drivers find deals that are 5 – 10% lower than their current policy. In that way, a driver can expect to save hundreds of dollars each year. Regional or local insurers are known to offer better deals to get new customers. The only way, most drivers know about these smaller insurers is by comparing online quotes.
Accurate data. Brokerage websites and insurance companies, provide accurate online quotes to their customers, so the online estimate of an insurance policy doesn’t differ that much from the real price of the same insurance policy. Of course, the user has to provide accurate data too, when he requests an online quote.
Compare multiple companies. With the help of online quotes, drivers can compare numerous insurers that compete with each other. Online quotes will help drivers find deals from less-known insurers.

As Car Accident Fatality Rate Increases, Belal Hamideh Urges Safe Driving

LONG BEACH, Calif., Jan. 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Belal Hamideh, a workers compensation, personal injury, and car accident attorney in Long Beach, implores drivers to drive as safely as possible. This comes in light of how the total number of <span…

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, fewer people in the United States died of motor vehicle accidents in 2020 when compared to 2019. They decreased by roughly two percent, with over three hundred fewer fatalities. Unfortunately, the NHTSA also found that more people died on average in 2020 as opposed to 2019.

Using the measurement «VMT» (an abbreviation of «Vehicles Miles Traveled») the NHTSA found that the fatality rate for motor vehicle accidents climbed .19 percent per 100 million VMT. Possible theories for this include more people driving recklessly, less seatbelt use, increases in people driving under the influence, less traffic and thus increased speeding, and many more.

«2020 has been the hardest year that many people have ever faced. It’s affected everyone in some way. With fewer people out on the road at all times of the year, it may be tempting to drive just a bit faster than you would otherwise, or to have that one drink before you head out on the road. These ideas are just as bad as they would be without a pandemic. If there’s one lesson to take from the year of 2020, it’s that we really are all in this together. By driving as safely as possible, we not only help keep others safe, we keep ourselves as well as those we love safe, too. Hopefully, 2021 will be a safer year. One way to ensure that is for all of us to drive as safely as we can,» said Belal Hamideh.

Belal Hamideh Law, in addition to personal injury, also handles many Long Beach workers’ comp cases as well. The firm has provided uninterrupted service to clients throughout the pandemic.
