On top of that, 1.1 million residents moved into the United States from some other country.[1] ([link removed])
Almost half—12.7 million—moved for housing-related reasons such as preferring to own rather than rent or wanting a better home to meet their needs. Another 8.4 million moved for family reasons such as a change in marital status or a desire to set up their own home.[2] ([link removed])
Job-related factors were the reason for 6.6 million people to move. This includes people who got a new job or wanted to be closer to work.[2] ([link removed])
Finally, 3.6 million moved for a variety of other reasons including health issues and attending or leaving college.[2] ([link removed])
