San Diego among top locations people are leaving: PODS ...Middle East

San Diego is climbing the list of cities people are looking to move out of, according to a recent report released by moving and storage company PODS.

While Los Angeles leads the charge, holding the number one spot with the most move-outs for the fourth consecutive year, San Diego is far from immune to the trend. Last year, San Diego was ranked number 8 for the highest number of move-outs, but according to PODS, this year’s data puts San Diego in 5th place.

The report attributes these trends to concerns surrounding the rising costs of living, traffic, and infrastructure that is not built for the current population of the Golden State.

California is home to seven cities on the top 20 list of move-outs, with three cities making it into the top 10. Stockton-Modesto dropped out of the top 10, down to 13th this year, and Fresno and Bakersfield reappeared toward the bottom of the list.

“The Northeast and West Coast continue to see a steady increase in people moving out likely due to high costs of living, overcrowding, and spiking insurance premiums, among other factors,” Rich Schwartz, senior vice president of corporate operations at PODS, said.

“As economic uncertainty persists and the housing market remains tight, we anticipate a continued migration toward more affordable and emerging markets throughout the country.”

So, where are they all going?

Overall, the report indicates that the southeastern United States is attracting Americans from across the country through warmer weather and lower costs.

Senior brand communications manager, Trent Brock said that among the economy, climate has an apparent affect on where people decide to hang their hats.

While in the past years, Florida has been a consistent frontrunner in where folks are heading to, he said that increasing tropical storms and rising insurance rates have led to fewer people moving to the state than in the past.

While 2025’s moving trends are similar to previous years, there are small changes that indicate that Georgia, Florida, and Texas are quietly falling off the list as more people migrate to Southern Appalachian states and to the Pacific Northwest.

Despite Asheville, NC falling from the top 10 move-in list, likely a result of the damage from Hurricane Helene in September 2024, the Carolinas still maintain the highest number of ranking cities and the highest number of cities in the top 10 from PODS’ data.

According to Brock, the data accounts for customers who embark on long-distance moves, which he said is 92% of their clientele.
