For 10 years, many of America’s coastal cities had a growth in population, but Covid-19 stopped that. Especially with more flexible work scenarios, people began moving away from the coast, and began moving more to the suburbs and to the sun belt. In 2022, the most populous US cities are New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, Phoenix, Philadelphia, San Antonio, San Diego, Dallas, and San Jose. The more employers allow remote flexibility, the more people will be able to choose where they want to live.
Key Takeaways:
- The pandemic has halted the trend of coastal cities growing larger, and other cities are beginning to rise.
- During the pandemic, people mostly moved to the suburbs and the Sun Belt, or to retirement locales.
- Despite populations decreasing due to pandemic migration, the largest cities remain large overall.
“As long as employers continue to allow workplace flexibility, Americans will have more freedom to live where they want.”
