Some cities and counties grow, while other cities and counties shrink, and that's true all across the country. There's one Minnesota city that has more people flocking to it than any other city in the state.

The website movebuddha.com keeps track of and lists the cities in America that have the most people moving in, and the most people moving out.

The list of cities in the U.S. that have the most people moving in for 2024 is led by The Villages, Florida -- just northwest of Orlando.

The study by movebuddha.com shows that Americans are opting for cool towns over big cities in 2024. Think more Ashville, North Carolina and Boulder Colorado, and less New York City and Los Angeles, California.

The COVID-19 pandemic and working remotely helped Americans choose more 'Zoom towns' as the new boom towns. We're talking cool places, at a time when many of us could work from anywhere we want.
