Abstract

During the COVID-19 pandemic, reports on the exodus from American cities were ubiquitous—people living in dense urban areas migrating to more sparsely populated places, either temporarily or permanently, in part due to fears of the spread of disease. According to Brookings, smaller metropolitan areas had seen more growth than large urban centers for several years now, and the pandemic accelerated that trend. 1 Suburbs had been growing for years but saw declining growth during the pandemic. Whether these pandemic-related changes will be reversed or entrenched is yet to be determined.2
