New York was infected and spread it.
[[reveals that 15.9 million people moved]]
I think they all moved to our town for the summer- it was insane-
And that trend isn’t unique to the Big Apple. When you take a look at 2020’s 10 most moved-out-of cities and compare them to the previous year, you see that the list remains relatively consistent. Eight of the 10 cities make both lists.

Six of the ten cities that had the highest net gain of movers during COVID-19 were in Texas. Based on the factors of why people are leaving the large urban centers, Texas provides many attractive features, such as lower cost of living, a variety of smaller towns, and plenty of open space.
But it’s important to note that the net losses experienced by big cities eclipsed the net gains experienced by the smaller cities. It’s more likely that residents relocating from big cities didn’t move en masse to Texas. Rather, they spread out to smaller areas across the country.
What the heck is so bad about Naples, FL???
People leaving Naples and Ft Myers??
There has to be an interesting explanation.
RE: What the heck is so bad about Naples, FL???
Might be because it has become too pricey to live and people are looking for a less expensive alternative ( you can’t pay the rent or property tax when you’re out of work ).
We are in the process of moving from a blue state nightmare (Illinois) to a red state (Wyoming). The ridiculous lockdown rules in Illinois are the main reason, followed by taxes and a state government run by Chicago democrats. We are retired, and we started our house search back in April right after the lockdown started. I can’t wait to escape from Illinois!

10 Reasons People Are Moving OUT of Naples,Florida
I was wondering the same thing ... Ft. Myers, too. Something’s fishy about that, though: the 2018 population was around 22,000. Ft. Myers is at 82K.
Personally, I moved, too: a distance of 15.4 miles.
Wow. I’d appreciate an update in a few months if you remember.
Loss in Naples not good for GOP in Florida.
Interesting.
What’s up with Naples’ data? They lose their entire population each year and each year it comes back? It’s worse than El Paso!
