10 Cities With The Highest Net Migration in America

7. Phoenix – Mesa – Scottsdale, AZ

Net migration: 105,071

The western part of the Sun Belt is becoming even more attractive for migrants – especially for domestic migrants. Phoenix and its metro area had 4,192,887 inhabitants back in 2010, but that number quickly grew by additional 205,874 people in just 3 years. As already mentioned, most of the migrants have moved to Phoenix from other American cities and towns, and they account for 78,436 people out of net migration’s number (17.8 rate). On the other hand, the number of international migrants amounts to 26,635 which yields international migration rate of 6.1.
