Where Americans Are Moving Right Now

Where Americans Are Moving Right Now
Why do people get the overwhelming urge to move in the summer? It’s one of those eternal questions, right up there with “Can love really last a lifetime?” and “Why does the Trader Joe’s line I’m in always move the slowest?” Maybe the warm weather wanderlust happens because your kids are off from school, or you graduated from college, or perhaps you just got married.

1. Census Bureau migration data collected from 2009 to 2013 that tracked people’s moves in and out of metropolitan areas
2. The number of cross-metro moving requests on moving.com®
3. Cross-metro search traffic on realtor.com®
