U-Haul Holding Company (NYSE: UHAL, UHAL.B), the parent company of U-Haul International, has announced its participation in the upcoming KeyBanc Capital Markets Self-Storage Investor Forum. The event is scheduled to take place on Thursday, January 9, 2025, in New York City.

U-Haul has released its 2024 Growth Index based on over 2.5 million one-way equipment transactions, revealing the Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington metropolitan area as the leading growth metro of 2024. Charlotte and Phoenix secured second and third positions respectively, while Ocala, Florida topped the city-proper rankings for the second time in three years.

Florida dominated the rankings with seven of the top 25 growth metros, including Lakeland, Palm Bay, Jacksonville, Tampa, Sarasota, Fort Myers, and Daytona Beach. Texas followed with five metros in the rankings. The growth patterns are attributed to factors such as reasonable cost of living, strong job markets, and tax benefits.

The U-Haul Growth Index, while not directly correlating to population or economic growth, serves as an effective indicator of how well states, metros, and cities attract and retain residents through its network of 23,000-plus rental locations across the U.S. and Canada.

U-Haul has released its 2024 Growth Index, revealing South Carolina as the top state for net gain of one-way movers, followed by Texas, North Carolina, Florida, and Tennessee. The rankings are based on over 2.5 million one-way U-Haul truck, trailer, and U-Box moving container transactions throughout the year.

The data shows a continued migration trend toward the Southeast and Southwest regions, with more than 51.7% of South Carolina's U-Haul moves being arrivals. Texas has maintained a top-two position since 2016, while Florida has consistently ranked fourth or higher since 2015. Notably, California ranks 50th for the fifth consecutive year, experiencing the greatest net loss of do-it-yourself movers.

The most significant ranking improvements were seen in Oklahoma (+30), Indiana (+19), and Maine (+18), while Colorado (-31), Nevada (-24), and Wyoming (-22) showed the largest declines.

U-Haul has opened its first retail, moving and self-storage facility in Panama City Beach, Florida.
