Daytona Beach Ranks No. 9 Among U.S. Growth Cities in 2025, U-Haul Reports

Daytona Beach - City Highlights Posted on January 07, 2026

Daytona Beach is ranked as the No. 9 growth city of 2025, according to the U-Haul® Growth Index, which analyzes one-way moving transactions from the past calendar year. The U-Haul Growth Index ranks cities based on the net gain (or loss) of do-ityourself movers who rent a one-way truck, trailer or U-Box® container in one city and drop it off in another. The index is compiled from more than 2.5 million one-way U-Haul transactions annually across the U.S. and Canada. U-Haul leaders point to Daytona Beach’s mix of affordability, coastal lifestyle and job opportunities, including aviation and manufacturing, as key factors attracting new residents. Florida boasts 12 of the top 25 growth cities, including eight of the top 10. Ocala tops the rankings for the third time since 2022.
