"Hey Tim,
In 2019, Apartment List published our Renter Migration Report, analyzing the metros people are looking to call their new home. We've now updated the report for 2020 and found some interesting trends."
The 2020 Migration Report--available to preview here--is under embargo until next Wednesday 1/22.
