Many Americans are currently choosing to relocate to a different state, which is a trend that has not been seen in years. In 2022, according to the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey, 8.2 million people moved from one state to another. This is the highest number of people moving between states in over ten years.
People have different reasons for moving, but one possible reason for the recent increase in people moving between states is because more companies are allowing employees to work remotely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2022, census data reveals that over 24 million Americans worked from home, which is a significant increase from the less than 9 million who did so in 2019, the year before the pandemic.
Nowadays, more people have the freedom to choose where they live based on factors like housing, climate, cost of living, and family, without having to worry about being close to an office. In 2022, there were a lot of people moving from Utah to other states, which contributed to the high number of interstate moves. About 109,290 people from Utah moved to a different part of the United States in 2022.
In 2022, people from Utah moved to every state and the District of Columbia, except for Delaware and Maine. In these areas, the number of people who used to live in Utah and moved there in 2022 varied from less than 20 to over 13,000.
