From Austin Business Journal, April 7, 2009...
A new report from online consumer resource group Relocation.com backs up recent Census data showing that Texas, and more specifically Austin, continue to see a population influx as people move from other parts of the country being more seriously affected by the recession.
The report, which analyzes interstate moves involving Texas from the beginning of 2007 through the first quarter of 2009, shows that 62 percent of such moves over the 27-month period were people moving to Texas, while just 38 percent were leaving. For 2008, Texas ranked fourth in the country for percentage of moves into the state.
On a per-capita basis, Austin was by far the most popular city in Texas to move to during the analyzed period. Sixty percent of moving requests involved people looking to move to Austin, while 40 percent were people looking to move out of the city.
