Growth rankings are determined by each state’s net gain (or loss) of customers utilizing one-way U-Haul equipment in a calendar year. The index is compiled from over 2.5 million moving container transactions that occur annually.
South Carolina climbed three spots in the rankings to unseat Texas, which was number 1 the previous three years. It was the first time South Carolina reached number 1 on the rankings, and North Carolina was close behind at number 3.
California experienced the greatest net loss of do-it-yourself movers, and ranked 50th for the fifth consecutive year in 2025, followed by Massachusetts, New Jersey and New York.
