Texas Overtakes Florida as Top Interstate Migration Target with Director of State Policy at National Taxpayers Union Foundation Andrew Wilford

Texas has officially surpassed Florida as the nation’s top destination for interstate migration, reflecting a continued shift toward states with lower taxes, business-friendly policies, and expanding job opportunities. According to Andrew Wilford, Director of State Policy at the National Taxpayers Union Foundation, the trend underscores how economic freedom and affordability are driving Americans’ relocation decisions. Wilford notes that Texas’ lack of a state income tax, combined with its diverse and growing economy, has made it especially attractive to both individuals and businesses seeking long-term stability. While Florida remains a strong contender, the latest data suggests Texas is now leading the pack as more Americans vote with their feet in search of opportunity and financial flexibility.
