Cities in the United States With Most Growth

In terms of cities seeing the most growth, Sarasota, Florida ranked first, followed by Dallas, Texas; Nashville, Tennessee; and Tampa Bay, Florida.

These states have historically lower costs of living, less volatile seasonal weather changes, and more space and access to nature,' PODS Blog states.

Los Angeles and San Francisco were the cities with the highest number of move-outs. Chicago and Central New Jersey ranked third and fifth.
