Here Are The Cities Americans Are Abandoning The Most

Do you love the city you live in? You staying put? Are you sick of your hometown and trying to find a new place to go? Has violence changed the way you feel about living in big inner cities? And which cities are losing the most people?
Each year, on average 14% of Americans relocate to a new city. If that seems high to you, consider the fact that often, families move more often when they’re poor, and poor families have larger families.
When Donald Trump was in office, less people moved, because a good economy meant less people had to move for work. But then everything went upside down in our big cities, and now, people are moving again.
The question is: Which cities in each state are losing the most people? Like, where do most people in a state NOT want to live? We can look at Census numbers to see migration patterns, and also try and understand why people are moving out of these cities. It’s pretty interesting to see where people have decided enough is enough. Since we have 50 cities to look at, we should probably get goin. So let’s hop in our moving van and get the heck outta here.

I moved to a smaller town probably about 20 days ago roughly. I like it better in the smaller town. No shootings, no police chases nice quiet and peaceful. I love this smaller town.
-
I'm 67, born in Seattle, looking to leave. I understand the desperation of homeless people; I've been there. Now that I have a place, just getting tired of petty theft.
-
Me and my friend bought a plot of land and a rent to own trailer out away from everyone's bullshit. Paradise.
-
My family is from West Virginia. I don't about Charleston but the people in the rural areas don't find it boring. They are outdoor people and have hiking, fishing, hunting, ATX driving the dirt roads, and seeing the natural beauty along with peaceful life. And a big one since family and relatives are usually not far away, time with family and friends.

2020 basically ripped the band aid off a lot of things.
-
Give me a place in the woods with no neighbors...dream home!
-
My roommate left NYC when she lost her job and then couldn't afford the exorbitant rent. Pandemic related.
-
Best phone conversation in Waterville, WA. Thank you for being a nice town.
-
I like living in the sticks I can't handle concrete and crime
-
i would prefer less people and cheaper cost of living
-
Even though Austin is supposedly the“hip” place to be, I got the heck out of there last month. Not gonna tell u where I moved to cause isolation is paramount! :)
-
Work is the reason for a lot of leaving. No job, no livelihood.
-
We actually aren't supposed to be living on top of each other crowded in like sardines in cities. That's not a healthy way to live.
-
First, I got out of California. Now, it’s time to leave Oregon.
-
San Francisco, Silicon Valley are the top moving out cities.

Thank You For Sharing 🇺🇸
-
Am I the only one that thinks that big city life is overrated
-
Every time I go to a city I always think,” I need to get out of here ASAP”
-
Thanks for posting this video it was really interesting to watch and find out all the different reasons people leave their towns and cities and where they moved to hoping to be better than wherever they came from. Fascinating stuff .
