Nearly 9 million people have relocated since the start of the pandemic.

One in three adults substituted some or all of their typical in-person work for remote work compared to 1 in 20 adults that worked remotely before the pandemic.

With remote work at record high levels, people also decide to move for various reasons. Some of them seek out bigger houses with bigger yards for their kids to play in and office space for them to work.

Others seek more affordable homes in less dense places away from large city centers since they are no longer required to do the daily commute.

According to data collected by the National Association of Realtors and USPS, states with a declining population size in 2019 are now experiencing the highest migration gains during the pandemic.

While the population declined by 0.3% in New Jersey in 2019, New Jersey gained more people during the pandemic. During March and October of 2020, New Jersey gained nearly 2,000 people compared to 1,100 a year earlier.

These graphs show migration patterns into and out of Morris County during March to October 2020.

Where Do We Go From Here?

While vaccines are at the doorstep, experts do not forsee a return to our pre-pandemic lifestyle for quite some time. We can likely expect continued migration patterns into the near future.

Tracking this type of data is important in helping you make informed, life-changing decisions.
