Houston MSA

Houston MSA is the top U.S. metro for net household inflows from a single county — 1,023 more from Los Angeles County, CA, than lost in 2022–23. This data, drawn from IRS Statistics of Income Migration Data, reveals a powerful transregional migration trend that’s reshaping the city’s long-term demographic and housing trajectory. It’s not just Texas moving to Houston — it’s California, too.
