Americans moved around a lot in 2021, and some states seem to be more popular than others.
The moving company sent its findings for review to Michael A. Stoll, an economist and professor at the University of California, Los Angeles. It went on to cite a statement from Stoll in its press release.
"This new data from United Van Lines is indicative of COVID-19's impact on domestic migration patterns, with 2021 bringing an acceleration of moves to smaller, midsized towns and cities," Stoll said. "We're seeing this not only occur because of Americans' desire to leave high-density areas due to risk of infection, but also due to the transformation of how we're able to work, with more flexibility to work remote.
When it comes down to which states saw the highest number of move-outs in 2021, United Van Lines said Americans largely left New Jersey, Illinois, New York, Connecticut, California, Michigan, Massachusetts, Louisiana, Ohio and Nebraska.
