Arizona attracted roughly 51,387 more residents than it lost to other states in 2024, with California remaining the top source of newcomers drawn by home prices roughly 44% lower than back home. Gen Z accounts for about 27% of inbound movers, and new arrivals report average incomes above $63,000, exceeding both state and national averages. While the pandemic-era relocation surge is easing nationally, Arizona’s active job market and relative affordability continue to sustain its appeal.
