As many as 89,000 households have left San Francisco since the start of the coronavirus pandemic, according to San Francisco-based site Public Comment.
Public Comment worked with the United States Postal Service to track requests for a change of address between March 1 and November 1, 2020.
The data showed that 124,131 households requested a change of address during that period with at least 34,803 of those requests for moves to a different neighborhood within San Francisco.
That means as many as 89,328 households left the city altogether. Those who left relocated to Las Vegas, Florida, the Denver region, and a city near Portland, Oregon, according to Public Comment.
As many as 89,000 households have moved out of San Francisco since the start of the coronavirus pandemic.
That’s according to San Francisco-based site Public Comment, which worked with the United States Postal Service to track requests for a change of address between March 1 and November 1, 2020.
The data showed that 124,131 households — which can mean an individual, a couple, or a family — requested a change of address during the seven-month period, with at least 34,803 of those requests, or 28%, for moves to a different neighborhood within San Francisco. The USPS didn’t include data from zip codes with 10 or fewer requests, so that amount could be higher, according to Public Comment.
Some households relocated to neighboring areas like Marin County and Oakland. For those who decamped the Bay Area entirely, they spread to cities and towns across the country. According to Public Comment, Las Vegas was the No. 1 destination, followed by Palm Beach County, Florida; Seminole County, Florida; the Denver region; and Beaverton, Oregon, a city just west of Portland.
LOL, that one’s great.
By the way, I appreciate the push to get the prepper thread going again. I definitely will. If we lose, the economy will be trashed and we will all need to learn how to survive on our own. If we win, the left will start a civil war. So ditto. Next week I’m going to visit a friend in Kentucky, so I don’t want to start now and then drop it already. So when I get back.
Perfect, Vlad!
