In May, only 60% of city dwellers said they wanted to stay in their city. But predictions of a mass exodus from urban areas due to the coronavirus pandemic may have been overblown, according to a new Yahoo Finance-Harris poll.
Young people were the most eager to flee the city. Some 44% of Generation Z and Millennial respondents said they were considering leaving the city, and almost 30% of Generation X respondents said they were likely to move. But for Americans ages 45 and up, only about 10% said they were considering moving.
About 35% of respondents who made at least $100,000 a year said they wanted to move out of the city — almost twice the rate of city dwellers who made less than $50,000 a year, 19% of whom said they were likely to move. And a third of employed respondents said they were likely to move, compared to only 16% of unemployed respondents.
“Those without children may also be less likely to move out of the city because they don’t necessarily have a reason to,” said Kushi. “The city offers amenities and conveniences that a suburb may not, and it is common for households to make the decision to move out of the city once they decide to have children and begin to prioritize a backyard and top school district.”
How likely are you to move due to left liberal violence!
I’m sure this has nothing to do with the peaceful protests
Because the reason is the crime and elected officials not only ignoring it but condoning it.
They are getting out of cities because of poor Democrat leadership. Rioting looting and defunding the police does not appeal to normal average everyday Americans.
