Moving

This Is the High Metropolis Individuals Are Transferring To – 24/7 Wall St.

Americans went through a period of extraordinary mobility. The high cost of living and real estate in large coastal cities like New York and San Francisco are partly responsible. Also, low mortgage rates have made homes more affordable, and the COVID-19 pandemic has made it possible for people who work from home to move from cities where their businesses have offices to almost anywhere in the country.

An iconic by-product of mobility is that home prices have skyrocketed in some (by population) humble states and cities. The people of Idaho, Oregon, Tennessee, and South Carolina along with a few cities have huddled within their borders. The 2021 census data is likely to show population growth in these states and cities in excess of the US average.

Mayflower, the major moving company, recently published a study called Finding Home.

The study measured the moves of people who entered the state and the city between July 2019 and July 2021. The data were collected between September 13th and September 23rd. The study claims that the data reflects gender, generation, and measures from the census by region. The researchers drew one conclusion from the data:

[It] reported that nearly three-quarters of Americans (74%) feel they have a hometown. However, the meaning of “hometown” is in the eye of the beholder: 58% consider their hometown to be the place they come from, while 42% consider their hometown to be the place where they currently live.

The states with the most inbound moves were Idaho, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Florida.
