According to U-Haul data analyzing migration patterns in 2020, Colorado ranked No. 6 among states for growth.
“Colorado is the biggest mover of any state on the list, catapulting 36 spots from its number 42 growth ranking of 2019,” said Andrea Batchelor, U-Haul spokesperson. “People coming to Colorado in one-way U-Haul trucks increased more than 3% during the past year, while departures dropped by more than 1% from 2019.”
U-Haul Company of Southern Colorado President Dave Hellmers has served in his role for seven years and has seen the boom in Southern Colorado during the past five years.
“With telecommuting everything is so different,” Hellmers said. “People are going where they want to be they can work and live where they can have fun, go boating or hiking and Southern Colorado offers all of that.”
