Houston MSA

🏆 Miami-Dade County, FL, is the top source of new households in the Houston MSA — 235 more than the prior year. This is not a regional trend. It’s a national realignment. The data comes from ALEX Intelligence’s latest report: https://alex-companies.com/data/2026-09-22-houston-msa-mig-trend-origin What does this mean for Houston’s real estate future? As people flee high-tax, high-cost states, Houston is becoming a strategic destination — not just a regional alternative. The top 10 sources include only two Texas counties, and both are outside the top five. This is not a Texas-only story. It’s a national one.
