It’s no surprise that the cost of living in
New York City is one of the highest in the nation. With rising costs, inflation, and more flexible remote work options, it's no wonder many of them have decided to move to more affordable areas.
About 545,500 residents left the Empire State in 2022. Overall in the U.S., 8.2 million people left their state and moved to another one, a 3.8% increase over 2021,
according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
So where did New Yorkers retreat to in 2022? And what's been driving the migration trend? Here's what we know:
While the largest share of
people leaving New York left for Florida (91,201), many moved to neighboring states. New Jersey saw the second largest influx of New Yorkers last year (75,103), followed by Connecticut (50,670) and Pennsylvania (44,807).
New York suffered a net population loss of 244,000 people, despite more people moving to the state in 2022 than any year over the last decade, according to the Census Bureau.
