Overall, the most popular places to move were Miami, Phoenix, Las Vegas, Tampa, and Orlando. The most popular places to live are usually in the Sun Belt because they are relatively cheap. In eight of the top ten places, the average home costs less than it did in the top origin.
Also, people are moving to the Sun Belt from other countries. Since last year, the number of people coming to Phoenix, Tampa, Orlando, Cape Coral, North Port-Sarasota, Dallas, and Houston more than doubled. They still didn't get as many newcomers as the country's big coastal metropolises, though.
