Here's where people are moving to. Hint: Orlando is one of the top 20 cities

People were on the move in 2020, and 17 of the top 20 cities for inbound growth were year-round, warm weather cities such as Orlando.

In fact, Florida was the dominant state on the list with five spots in the top 20: Tallahassee (No. 3), West Palm Beach (No. 11), Tampa (No. 15), Orlando (No. 16) and Fort Myers (No. 20).

To measure the changes, relocation services provider Updater analyzed a random sampling of 1.5 million h​ousehold moves across the United States that took place from January through November 2020. The findings:

• Americans departed the largest, most densely populated cities in the United States and took to smaller cities.

• Southern states that had been attractive destinations for years grew during the pandemic.

• Seventeen of the top 20 cities (all but Denver, Spokane and Reno) for inbound growth were year-round, warm weather cities.

1. Greenville, North Carolina

2. Las Vegas, Nevada

3. Tallahassee, Florida
