These other 2025 moving trend studies seem to've not put Oregon as the national lead for inbound movers, though included as one of the top ten in one of the studies... https://www.pods.com/blog/moving-trends

Uhaul's data puts Oregon at about 50% coming in 50% going out. They actually put Texas as #1 and Florida as #2 which honestly makes way more sense. Oregon ranked 11th (which to be fair is actually pretty high considering the average price point is probably on the higher side in comparison to other states) https://www.uhaul.com/About/Migration/
These sources are dependent on their own businesses. For example I would bet that UHaul does more volume than United Van Lines. Even then in the article you posted states that they excluded some because there isn't enough moves to justify a ranking. This is literally stated in the article:
*Although Vermont experienced the highest percentage of inbound moves overall, United Van Lines moved fewer than 250 families in and out of the state. The inbound and outbound rankings in the 2025 study only reflect states with 250 moves or more.
To summarize: United Van Lines only reflected their own business and not actual overall trends. That's like me saying we are seeing a move towards a specific neighborhood over others just because I closed the most deals there.
