DALLAS (KDAF) — Texas is getting too crowded with all our new neighbors that have moved on in and decided to make the Lone Star State their home.
Some Texans are realizing, “This town ain’t big enough” and are making their exit from the state to newfound homes in some unexpected places.
“The U.S. is among the most mobile countries in the world, but our rates of moving have slumped in recent decades. In 2019, for example, a lower percentage of Americans changed residence than any year prior since 1947 when migration statistics were first gathered by the Census Bureau,” Stacker said.
