Where Are New York City Residents Moving To?
Tens of thousands of New York City residents have moved to the Hudson Valley and Upstate New York since 2020.
The initial surge was driven by the pandemic and remote work. About 80,000 people moved from NYC to the Hudson Valley between 2019 and 2021.
In 2020, the Hudson Valley gained over 33,000 people from New York. The rate of New York City residents moving to the region has slowed since the pandemic.
But that could change, with nearly 1 million planning to move. Other top relocation choices include Florida, North Carolina, Tennessee and Texas.
