United Van Lines Says Americans are on the Move to Lower-Density Areas

According to United Van Lines 45^th Annual National Movers Study, Americans were on the move to lower-density areas and to be closer to their families throughout 2021.  Interestingly, they found that many Gen Xers are retiring (often at a younger age than previous generations), joining the Baby Boomer generation.  That certainly makes you think….

“This new data from United Van Lines is indicative of COVID-19’s impact on domestic migration patterns, with 2021 bringing an acceleration of moves to smaller, midsized towns and cities,” Michael A. Stoll, economist and professor in the Department of Public Policy at the University of California, Los Angeles
