THE FACTS BEHIND THE MOVE
01
Texas does not levy a personal state income tax. That can be attractive to people relocating from states that do. Compare the full household budget, including property taxes, sales taxes, insurance and utilities.

Texas was home to 54 Fortune 500 headquarters in 2025, including 26 in the Houston–Pasadena–The Woodlands metro area. The mix includes energy, technology, finance and other sectors. A broad employer base is one reason career-focused movers consider Texas; individual job opportunities vary.

Texas offers urban, suburban and rural settings, with museums, live music, dining and outdoor recreation across the state. Start with the lifestyle you want, then compare neighborhoods, commute times and the homes available within your budget.

Texas has more than 360 miles of coastline, plus parks, rivers and outdoor destinations. That variety can appeal to buyers who want weekend adventures as well as a place to call home. Weather and travel distances differ by region.

The Texas Comptroller reports 314 corporate headquarters relocated to Texas between 2015 and 2024, announcing 7,360 new jobs. Company moves help explain interest in Texas, though those figures do not measure why every household relocates.
