How many people in the US move each year?

When you’re in the midst of a chaotic move, it may seem as though you’re the only one dealing with the typical stresses of packing and moving. But really you’re not. In fact, according to the numbers, 32 million people in the US moved in 2018. To put that in perspective, that’s 10.1% of the population of 319 million US residents.

Another interesting statistic is that fewer Americans are moving each year.  Twenty years ago, 1998, 16% of Americans moved, while in 2018 only 10.1% of Americans moved. Of those Americans that move, 85% percent of them move within the same state, and 15% percent of them move to a different state.
