Number one metro area on this list of 10 cities with the highest net migration in America goes to Houston – The Woodlands – Sugar Land. This is the fifth largest American metro with more than 5,920,416 citizens back in 2010. International migrants make up for 80,394 people which is close to half of the total number of migrants and comes to a rate of 12.7. Domestic migrants are dominant here as well as in other Texas cities, and they make up to a rate of 19.7, or a total of 124,548 migrants. Needless to say, oil industry governs most of these migrations, but the current situation on global oil markets isn’t that peachy. Texas will, thus likely slow down with migration, and we’ll see how the situation develops further down the line.
