PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) – Nearly half of all residential moves in the U.S. happen during the summer, between Memorial Day and Labor Day, according to U-Haul’s report on midyear migration trends.
New data shows that for the first time since the pandemic, major U.S. cities could be starting to grow again.
Most of the U-Haul customers arriving in the Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro metro area so far in 2025 have come from Washington, with movers from California coming in second place, followed by Arizona. Idahoans and Texans came in fourth and fifth place.
