Domestic Migration Trends

Domestic migration patterns have shown a decline in movement, especially from the Northeast and Midwest to the South and Mountain West before and during the pandemic. However, recent data indicates a slowdown in movement to these regions, with the Southeast still attracting residents steadily. Large urban centers have experienced a reduction in net migration as remote work dynamics shift, but the appeal of city living is drawing back younger adults seeking amenities and social lifestyles.
