Arizona was among the top growth states nationally, according to U-Haul’s Growth Index migration data, but the state did slide down a spot in the ranking, reaching seventh place in 2025, as compared to sixth in 2024.
The study analyzes one-way trips taken by U-Haul customers to assess inbound and outbound moves. Inbound trips to Arizona slightly outpaced outbound trips, with 50.3% of Arizona trips arriving in the state and 49.7% leaving it. The index used data from more than 2.5 million one-way trips each year across the United States and Canada.
“Arizona remains a growth state, a net in-migration state,” Luis Cordova, senior vice president and COO of Rounds Consulting Group, said in December. “But the trend is softening.”
