From Chris Salviati @ Apartment List: 21.4% of Phoenix apartment hunters are looking to move away

Thanks to Chris for sending!
Hi Tim,
Apartment List just published our quarterly renter migration report, shedding new light on how the COVID-19 pandemic is impacting moving trends. This interactive mapping tool analyzes proprietary data from millions of user searches spanning July through September to determine where Americans are looking to make their next move. Nearly 40% of users searching on our platform in Q3 were looking to move to a new metro, well above pre-pandemic benchmarks. 
 
Key insights from the report include:
  • 21.4% of apartment hunters currently living in Phoenix are looking to move elsewhere. Tucson is the most popular destination among these renters.
  • 29.1% of those looking for a place to live in Phoenix are searching from outside the metro. The most common source of renters looking to move to Phoenix from elsewhere is Los Angeles.
  • For context, nearly 40% of apartment hunters nationwide are searching for somewhere to live outside of their current metro.

 
Check out the full report here for more detailed data and to explore trends for major metro areas around the country.
If this is something you would be interested in covering, I’d be happy to answer any questions or schedule an interview with one of the report’s authors! 
Best,
Chris
