Chilliwack ranks among the top 25 Canadian growth cities in 2023: U-Haul
CHILLIWACK — Although it dropped 13 spots from the previous ranking, Chilliwack remains the No. 23 Canadian growth city in 2023, according to U-Haul Growth Index data that calculates one-way customers during the past year.
One-way U-Haul customers arriving in Chilliwack decreased 16 per cent from 2022, while departures dropped 14 per cent, as overall moving traffic slowed.
Despite fewer arrivals year-over-year, do-it-yourself movers arriving in Chilliwack still accounted for 50.7 per cent of all one-way U-Haul traffic in and out of the market (49.3 per cent departures) in 2023 to keep it a top-25 destination. Chilliwack ranked as the No. 10 growth city for 2022.
U-Haul determines growth cities by each city’s net gain (or loss) of one-way equipment from customer transactions in a calendar year. The U-Haul Growth Index is compiled from well over 2.5 million one-way U-Haul truck, trailer and U-Box moving container transactions that occur annually across Canada and the U.S.
