So Long, New York and L.A.! Here Are the Cities Luring (and Losing) the Most Americans

milanadzic/iStock; realtor.com

Whatever happened to American wanderlust? Manifest destiny? Hitting the road?

The fact is, Americans are less likely to pack up their belongings and relocate now than at any point in recorded history: Only about 11% moved to new homes last year, the lowest rate recorded since the government started keeping track 70 years ago. This includes a drop in the number of folks moving to new homes in the same state, as well as those moving across state lines.

Why are more people staying put? Part of it is due to the torrent of millennials, with their mountains of debt and shifting job prospects.

“It is a tough time for people in their 20s. … It takes young people five to six years longer now to get out of the house compared with previous generations,” says John Cromartie, a geographer at the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Then there’s the general aging of the population, with many baby boomers already ensconced in their forever homes.

Make no mistake: The pool of movers may be shrinking, but the country is still going through a period of profound migration—with some places losing and others gaining. And this smaller group of movers is having an enormous impact, since newcomers remain the lifeblood of big housing markets, keeping builders busy and home prices rising.

The realtor.com® data team analyzed migration trends to find the metropolitan areas* gaining the most new residents, and those seeing the biggest population declines. During the recession, Americans flocked to the biggest cities where finding a job was easier. But in the rebounding years, these meccas, such as New York and Los Angeles, have seen housing costs soar and people relocate to more affordable destinations.

“Right now the numbers are showing [people moving] to the West and South, and away from the Northeast and Midwest,” says demographer Ken Gronbach of KGC Direct. “Cities where taxes are low and housing [costs are] reasonable will see a huge influx of people over the next five to 10 years.”

Just because a place ranks high for losing residents doesn’t mean plenty of people aren’t moving there—it’s just that more people are moving out of that market than are coming in. We came up with our ranking by analyzing recently released U.S. Census Bureau population data from 2012 to 2016. We calculated the net migration for every metropolitan area** by measuring the difference between the numbers of residents moving in and those moving out.

So let’s start with the cities attracting newcomers like floodlights attract luna moths!

Cities gaining the most residents

1. Phoenix, AZ

Median list price: $329,975 Increase in new residents**: 37,188 Top place of origin (out of state): Los Angeles, LA

Phoenix, AZ

After years of watching his commute get longer and the price of just about everything in San Bernardino, CA, go up, police officer Brent Wood, 45, had enough. So he and his family sold their modest 1,200-square-foot home; in August, they moved into much larger, three-bedroom digs in Phoenix at the end of a cul-de-sac, all for about the same price. It even came with a large backyard, a big plus for the family and their three dogs.

“Everything has been great since we moved,” says Wood. Phoenix has “clean freeways, friendly people, amazing weather, lower gas prices, and lower food prices.”

The Phoenix region has become a top destination for folks fleeing high-cost West Cost cities.

Phoenix has long been known for its huge retirement communities like Sun City, a 55-plus active community built in the 1960s with golf courses and one-story homes with gated back yards.

But new residents aren’t just retirees and snowbirds. The region’s strong local economy is seeing a number of employers relocate to the area and bring a younger workforce with them. These workers are buying reasonably priced condos within walking distance to light rail.

2. Riverside, CA

Median list price: $389,050 increase in new residents: 30,943 Top place of origin (out of state): New York, NY

Charming two-bedroom home in Riverside

For a lot of Americans, spending $400,000 for a single-family home in the suburbs with a garage and a small yard might sound like a lot of dough. Not for Californians. Riverside has seen a slew of transplants from nearby San Diego and Los Angeles, where median prices are way higher—$657,000 and $725,000, respectively.

“We’re inexpensive in relation to other parts of Southern California,” says Matthew Rundle, a mortgage banker at Westin Mortgage in Riverside. Many of the new residents are midcareer or close to retirement who are cashing out at peak real estate prices.

Aside from reasonable real estate prices, Riverside touts its ample amount of shiny, new homes: New construction makes up 7.7% of all listings here, compared with 4.6% in San Diego.

3. Austin, TX

Median list price: $349,950 increase in new residents: 29,192 Top place of origin (out of state): New York, NY

Austin, TX

The capital of Texas has done something that very few tech hot spots have managed to pull off lately: keeping home prices from reaching astronomical heights. While locals may bemoan high price tags, they’re still just a fraction of those in Silicon Valley, where the median for homes is $1.1 million. Helped out by lots of new construction, prices here have fallen 4.1% year over year.

The jobs and affordable homes are attracting hordes of millennials and Gen Xers. They’re coming primarily from San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Houston.

And they’re snapping up new condos near downtown as well as newly constructed single-family homes out in the suburbs. In Manor, TX, just 20 minutes outside of Austin, buyers can find plenty of new, four-bedroom homes priced under $250,000. More than half are new, which is one of the reasons realtor.com named it one of America’s 10 fastest-growing suburbs.

4. Houston, TX

Median list price: $310,050 increase in new residents: 29,098 Top place of origin (out of state): New York, NY

Houston, TX

Hurricane Harvey devastated parts of Houston, causing billions of dollars in damages. But that destruction hasn’t slowed the number of folks moving to the nation’s fourth-largest city for its many good-paying jobs, particularly in the oil and gas industries. In fact, the Houston metro added 111,200 jobs in the 12 months following the storm.

“They’re not moving here for the climate or the scenery. It’s for work, “says Greg Nino, a real estate agent with Re/Max Compass in Houston.

The vast majority of newcomers are millennials or Gen Xers, who are buying big $300,000 to $400,000 new, single-family homes in the city or surrounding suburbs. The ones who still want to live it up a bit are snagging three-story townhomes near downtown priced around $350,000.

5. Orlando, FL

Median list price: $299,950 increase in new residents: 26,635 Top place of origin (out of state): New York, NY

Orlando, FL

Home to Mickey, former home to Shamu, and a tourist magnet to the world, Orlando is aggressively moving beyond the vacation trade. High-paying jobs in medical sciences and technology fields, along with reasonable real estate prices and lots of sunny weather, are snagging more and more young residents. Orlando’s even becoming cool (relatively speaking).

Many transplants are coming from the Northeast, including New York and New Jersey, says local real estate agent Rose Kemp. She’s also seen quite a few Puerto Ricans moving in after Hurricane Maria devastated the U.S. territory.

This influx of newcomers means builders are busy. Orlando has a number of three- and four-bedroom homes going up in new subdivisions in the region. In Lake Nona, a new community, buyers can find three-bedroom homes priced around $400,000 with access to pools and state-of-the-art fitness centers.

The rest of the top 10 metros where the most folks are moving to include Dallas; Las Vegas; Columbia, SC; Tampa, FL; and Charlotte, NC.

OK? Now let’s take a tour of the places people are leaving in droves.

Metros losing the most residents

1. New York, NY

Median list price: $529,050 Decrease in residents**: -222,959 Top destination (out of state): Miami, FL

Leaving New York

America’s largest city is more than just a place so nice they named it twice: It’s also the one that sees the most residents coming and going. They come for the excitement and the gigs; they leave because of sky-high housing prices (and let’s not even talk about the subways). But in recent years those leaving have outpaced those coming. They’re headed to lower-priced cities like Miami, Philadelphia, and Atlanta (in that order).

So what impact will the arrival of new Amazon headquarters in the Long Island City neighborhood of Queens have on this equation? Time will tell. On the plus side, the company is adding 25,000 well-paying jobs; on the minus, prices in the area are already surging.

It all contributes to the famous Big Apple churn.

“Unless you have an unlimited budget, you’ll need to make a sacrifices eventually,” says Gary Malin, president of the New York real estate brokerage Citi Habitats. “Not everyone wants to be in the city forever. … The hustle of city life and the costs can get old.”

2. Los Angeles, CA

Median list price: $725,050 Decrease in residents: -108,421 Top destination (out of state): Phoenix, AZ

Getting of LA… eventually.

peeterv/iStock

For many, the gorgeous beaches, incredible year-round weather, and general fabulosity of this West Coast mecca make it a certain kind of American ideal. But like New York, it both attracts and repels residents. Lately it’s doing more of the latter.

High real estate costs have pushed folks farther and farther out of the city, making commutes more grueling and longer than ever. An April analysis by the realtor.com data team found that only 1 in 3 Los Angeles homes were within a middle-class household’s price range. That’s led the typical L.A. driver to spend more than 100 hours per year in freeway congestion, the highest in the nation, according to INRIX, a transportation analytics firm.

So who’s leaving? Mostly folks in their 40s and above who are taking off for states like Texas, Arizona, and Nevada, where real estate prices are lower, the economies are strong, and the weather is still warm. Those moving in tend to come from the Northeast, like New York and New Jersey, where they’re used to high prices and are looking for better weather (way better).

Perhaps a slowing real estate market in L.A. will help to stop the outflow of residents. Home prices are still up 3.5% year over year. However, the number of properties experiencing price cuts surged 76% in November. Meanwhile, inventory climbed 27% year over year, giving buyers more choices.

3. Chicago, IL

Median list price: $285,000 Decrease in residents: -100,348 Top destination (out of state): Houston, TX

Frozen rivers or warmer climate?

Once they hit retirement, many baby boomers are saying goodbye to the Windy City and hello to the mild winters in Arizona, Florida, and Texas. This is the biggest group leaving Chicago.

But they aren’t just headed out because of the cold. Property tax bills keep getting bigger in Chicago, including the latest hike over the summer. Fun fact: Illinois has the second-highest property tax rate in country, with only homeowners in New Jersey paying more, according to ATTOM Data Solutions, a real estate data firm. When folks leave the area, that creates a bigger budget shortfall and creates still more tax increases.

“We have great jobs here, but Chicago is getting expensive,” says Scott Curcio, a broker at Coldwell Banker in Chicago.

That could explain why they’re going to affordable Houston, where home prices are reasonable and the mercury doesn’t drop into negative temperature territory.

4. Detroit, MI

Median list price: $226,300 Decrease in residents: -38,161 Top destination (out of state): Phoenix, AZ

Detroit, MI

Even as long-downtrodden Detroit continues to lurch toward a real revival, the region still faces a number of challenges. That’s what happens when a population falls from 1.8 million in the 1950s to below 700,000 today.

And despite a surge in new development and new jobs, residents are still leaving the city. Some are recent graduates heading to healthier cities, some are retirees heading for the Sunshine State or Arizona. And the region is losing residents to other Michigan metros like Lansing, a little more than an hour away, and Grand Rapids, two hours away.

But it’s not all doom and gloom in the Motor City.

Some middle-aged and young professionals who grew up in Detroit are now moving back after seeing development of restaurants and nightlife in downtown, says Thomas Nanes, a real estate agent at Community Choice Realty Detroit. They’re buying everything from condos in converted warehouses to dirt-cheap, fixer-uppers in the burbs for under $75,000.

5. Washington, DC

Median list price: $430,050 Decrease in residents: -35,083 Top destination (out of state): Houston, TX

DC gridlock

The nation’s capital region is well-accustomed to turnover. Case in point: In January 2017, when President Donald Trump took office, he ushered in a new army of federal employees. Meanwhile, many of the Obama-era folks took new jobs in other cities.

Plus, the city is packed with 20- and 30-somethings working for nonprofits, newsrooms, and political campaigns, who don’t stay forever. While working here they rent bedrooms in colorful row homes in the Dupont Circle neighborhood with a gaggle of roomies—or they rent apartments in large buildings in nearby burbs such as Arlington, VA. But after a few years learning the ropes and paying their dues, many of these young folks take off for other cities.

“On Capitol Hill people are working 50 to 60 hours a week in an intense and exciting environment,” says Cromartie, the USDA geographer who studies population trends. “But that life is very much for younger people who then move on and up [and out].”

The decline in population isn’t happening all over the region. In fact, the city of DC on its own saw a positive jump in the number of folks moving in. It was the surrounding suburbs that saw declines. However, that’s likely to change when Amazon opens its second headquarters in Crystal City, VA, just outside of the capital.

The rest of the top 10 metros where the most folks are moving away include San Diego; Anchorage, AK; Philadelphia; Miami; and Boston.

* A metropolitan statistical area is a designation that includes the urban core of a city and the surrounding smaller towns and cities. Census had data only for around 400 metros.

** We subtracted the number of incoming residents from the number of outgoing residents. This figure is the metro’s net migration. The count did..

AceShowbiz – A series of both unfortunate and fortunate events have filled 2018. Throughout the year, people are dealing with deaths, births, weddings, new romances and separations.

As 2018 is nearing the end, AceShowbiz is offering a recap of each month’s biggest event throughout the year. Check them out below.

1. JANUARY

WENN/FayesVision

2018 had a rather bleak start with Mark Salling’s death of suicide by hanging on Tuesday, January 30. The actor, who was known for his role as Noah “Puck” Puckerman on FOX’s musical series “Glee“, was found lifeless, hanging from a tree near a riverbed in Sunland, the area where he lived.

His death arrived as he awaited sentencing after he was pleading guilty to possession pornography. Prior to his passing Mark allegedly attempted to commit suicide in the bedroom of his L.A. home before he freaked out and called his roommate for help.

Following news of his passing, a slew of his former “Glee” co-stars paid tribute to him on social media. Among them were Matthew Morrison, Iqbal Theba and vocal arranger Tim Davis.

2. FEBRUARY

Instagram

Contrary to last month, February brought an exciting news. Kylie Jenner shocked everyone by dropping a major bombshell. After it was long-speculated that she was pregnant with her first child with boyfriend Travis Scott (II), the “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” star finally confirms the rumors on February 4.

Taking to Instagram, the makeup mogul announced the arrival of her daughter Stormi Webster. The baby was born on February 1st.

“I’m sorry for keeping you in the dark through all the assumptions,” Kylie told online devotees. “I understand you are used to me bringing you along and all my journeys. My pregnancy was one I chose not to do in front of the world. I knew for myself I needed to prepare for this role of a life time in the most positive stress free and healthy way I knew how.”

3. MARCH

ABC

Spring means a new season of “The Bachelor“. This year’s season though, might be different from the previous ones and one could argue that it might be the most controversial season in the franchise’s history.

Arie Luyendyk Jr., who was pointed as the leading man of season 22 of the ABC dating show, was dubbed the most hated Bachelor after he publicly dumped fiancee and winner Becca Kufrin for the runner-up, Lauren Burnham.

The race car driver met up with Becca a couple weeks after getting engaged during the finale. Becca initially thought they were going to spend the weekend together but it turned out they met up because Arie wanted to call things off with her as he still had feelings for Lauren.

“I felt like the more I was hanging out with you the more I was losing the chance of reconciling with her,” Arie told a shocked Becca. “We left Peru and I didn’t want to be as honest with you about how conflicted I was.”

Arie is now happily engaged to Lauren and is planning to have their wedding next year.

4. APRIL

Actress Allison Mack, who is known for her role as Chloe Sullivan on “Smallville“, made headlines after news of her getting arrested for alleged sex trafficking, sex trafficking conspiracy and forced labor conspiracy broke. She was indicted for an alleged leading role in the NXIVM sex cult, which leader Keith Raniere was arrested late last month in Mexico.

According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office of the Eastern District of New York, both Mack and Reniere were accused of branding their victims and forcing them to participate in sex acts through the various self-help programs that Raniere established within his umbrella organization, NXIVM. Mack was allegedly “one of the women in the first level of the pyramid immediately below Raniere.”

Following the arrest, fellow actress Samia Shoaib revealed that she was approached by Mack as she tried to lure her into the twisted world of the alleged sex cult. The Pakistan-born actress alleged that Mack sent her overly friendly and frantic emails in attempt to get her in a “women’s circle” back in March 2013.

While Mack didn’t seem like a bad person, Shoaib said that one email stuck out to her the most. “Thank you for last night! I had a lovely time with you and [your friend]. You are both delicious women,” Mack allegedly wrote in an email after their final dinner in the same year.

5. MAY

One of the biggest weddings in 2018 arrived in May when Prince Harry and Meghan Markle officially tied the knot on Saturday, May 19 at St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle. Followed by 10 bridesmaids and page boys, including Harry’s four-year-old nephew Prince George and three-year-old niece Princess Charlotte, the former “Suits” actress walked up the steps of the church in an exquisite white dress with flowing train and long lace veil designed by Givenchy artistic director Clare Waight Keller. She completed her stunning bride look with the Queen Mary Diamond Bandeau Tiara, made in 1932 and borrowed from Queen Elizabeth II.

In the procession, which was attended by famous figures including Abigail Spencer, Priyanka Chopra, James Corden, Amal and George Clooney among others, Prince Charles replaced Meghan’s father Thomas Markle to walk her down the aisle. Thomas was unable to attend the nuptials since he was suffering from health issues.

During the ceremony, which was conducted by Dean of Windsor David Conner, U.S. Bishop Michael Curry made a passionate address while the guests were treated to a gospel rendition of 1961 song “Stand by Me” by Karen Gibson and The Kingdom Choir. Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, officiated the marriage vows, with Harry and Meghan then exchanging wedding bands.

One of the sweet moments from the nuptials was when the camera caught Harry whispering to his bride, stating the words, “You look amazing.” The happy couple later announced in October that they are expecting their first child together.

6. JUNE

Another loss hit the entertainment world after Kate Spade was found dead in an apparent suicide on June 5. The founder of the famed fashion brand hanged herself in her New York City apartment.

The brand confirmed the heartbreaking news through its official Twitter account, writing, “Kate Spade, the visionary founder of our brand, has passed.” It continued saying, “Our thoughts are with her family at this incredibly heartbreaking time. We honor all the beauty she brought into this world.”

Kate committed suicide after suffering from depression and anxiety for many years, according to an official statement released on Wednesday, June 6. “She was actively seeking help and working closely with her doctors to treat her disease, one that takes far too many lives. We were in touch with her the night before and she sounded happy,” the statement added.

7. JULY

Fans were shocked on July 24 after it was reported that Demi Lovato was rushed to the hospital in Los Angeles for a suspected drug overdose. Law enforcement said Demi, who has been open about her struggles with substance abuse for years, was treated with Narcan, an emergency treatment to reverse the effects of a narcotic overdose.

The “Heart Attack” hitmaker was later revealed to be “awake and with her family” following the near-fatal health scare. “Demi is awake and with her family who want to express thanks to everyone for the love, prayers and support,” her rep said in a statement. “Some of the information being reported is incorrect and they respectfully ask for privacy and not speculation as her health and recovery is the most important thing right now.”

Taking to Instagram to address her condition in August, the “Cool for the Summer” singer said, “I want to thank God for keeping me alive and well,” before thanking her fans. “I am forever grateful for all of your love and support throughout this past week and beyond. Your positive thoughts and prayers have helped me navigate through this difficult time. I want to thank my family, my team, and the staff at Cedars-Sinai who have been by my side this entire time. Without them I wouldn’t be here writing this letter to all of you.”

8. AUGUST

WENN/Nikki Nelson

Alongside Rose McGowan, Asia Argento was one of MeToo movement activists after she accused disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein of sexual harassment in October 2017. However, things took a twisted turn after it was reported that the “XXX” star was involved in a sexual assault scandal of her own.

Actor and musician Jimmy Bennett claimed that the actress sexually harassed him when he was only 17 in 2013. According to the document, the two, who played mother and son respectively in “The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things“, met at the Ritz-Carlton in Marina del Rey with Bennett’s family member before the “Marie Antoinette” actress asked for sometime alone with the actor. The mother of two then gave him alcohol and kissed him. Afterward, she gave him an oral sex before they had a sexual intercourse.

It was also mentioned in the document that the sexual encounter with Argento was so traumatic for Bennett that it affected his mental health, career and income. It reportedly left him feeling “extremely confused, mortified, and disgusted.” The “Poseidon” actor later sued the Italian actress and director for $3.5 million in damages for the intentional infliction of emotional distress, lost wages, assault and battery.

It was revealed that Argento then paid $380,000 to Bennett in November 2017 as a part of the agreement. In exchange, Bennet had to give a picture of him and the actress in bed along with its copyright to Argento.

9. SEPTEMBER

WENN/Jessica Alexander

The world lost one of talented souls in September. Rapper Mac Miller was found lifeless from an apparent drug overdose in his San Fernando Valley home on September 7. He was 26.

The tragic news comes just months after his breakup with singer Ariana Grande, who was engaged to comedian and “Saturday Night Live” star Pete Davidson” at that time.

The “Swimming” spitter previously shared his concern in an interview, saying, “was not happy and I was on lean very heavy.” Miller added, “I was so f**ked up all the time it was bad. My friends couldn’t even look at me the same. I was lost.”

Despite his passing, friends and fellow musicians are trying to keep his music and legacy with the launch of Mac Miller Circles Fund, a new foundation meant to help provide resources and programming for arts education in underserved communities. The foundation was launched at a benefit concert called “Mac Miller: A Celebration of Life” on October 31 at Greek Theatre in Los Angeles, which featured performances from Travis Scott (II), SZA, Chance the Rapper, Miguel, Ty Dolla $ign and more.

10. OCTOBER

WENN/Patricia Schlein

2018 is indeed a hard year for Ariana Grande. The “God Is a Woman” singer has yet to emotionally recover from the trauma she had from the bombing attack at her Manchester in 2017, and she had to face the harsh reality when one of her ex-boyfriend, Mac Miller, died in suicide. The emotional struggle apparently took a toll on her whirlwind relationship with Pete as it was reported that they decided to call off their engagement in October.

It was said that the “Sweetener” singer thought “this wasn’t the right time for them.” While Pete was understandably heartbroken over this, he knew that this is the best for them.

However, they were allegedly not ruling out any possibility of getting back together as the two are still pretty much in love with each other. “They have a very special connection, partly because Pete has been there for Ariana during a painful time in her life. She will forever and always be grateful to Pete,” a source claimed. “They felt constantly under a microscope. They felt that they literally had no privacy and it really took a toll on their relationship,” said a source.

11. NOVEMBER

Marvel fans mourned the passing of Stan Lee on November 12. The Marvel Comics creator passed away at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles after medical emergency.

Four days after his death, Stan Lee was laid to rest in a private ceremony on Friday, November 16. “As we all continue to process our feelings of loss at the passing of a true legend, many are asking if there will be a memorial in Stan’s honor,” the POW!

12. DECEMBER

Cardi B surprised fans when she announced her and husband Offset‘s split on late Tuesday, December 4 via Instagram. In a video, the “Bodak Yellow” hitmaker admitted people had been “bugging” her about their relationship before she finally decided to address it in the clip.

“I’ve been trying to work things out with my baby father,” she said, before confirming, “We’re not together anymore.” Claiming that they’ve “got a lot of love for each other,” she said they would remain “good friends” and “good business partners.” She added, “He’s always somebody that I run to … to talk to.”

While she didn’t detail the reason of their separation, Cardi shared, “Things haven’t been just working out between us for a long time. It’s nobody’s fault. We just grew out of love,” hinting that their split was amicable. “It may take time to get a divorce,” she added, before ending it by saying, “And I’m gonna always have a lot of love for him, because he is my daughter’s father.”

The shocking bombshell arrived after reports of the Migos rapper tried to cheat on Cardi again with another female rapper emerged. A woman claimed the rapper, whose real name is Kiari Cephus, wanted to have a threesome with Cuban Doll and her friend.

Cardi and Offset later sparked reconciliation rumors after they were spotted vacationing together in Puerto Rico just a week after the former announced their split. However, the “Money” spitter clarified that she didn’t get back together with Offset. “I just had to get fucked. That’s all,” the Bronx rapper slyly said in an Instagram video.
