When Mark Jenkins and Lori Crowell rang in 2020, they had no idea they'd be moving to another state before the end of the year. But then the pandemic hit and so much changed.
"We thought about leaving Seattle the past couple years, but we weren't ready," said Jenkins. But when the pandemic made remote work more of a reality for him and they realized they could live anywhere, they packed up and moved to Idaho. "The weather is a big improvement. The traffic is better. It is very welcoming. People are strangely friendly."
Millions of Americans ended 2020 living at a different address than where they started the year.
By October, 8.93 million people had moved since the pandemic began in March, according to an analysis of United States Postal Service change of address requests by the National Association of Realtors. That's an increase of nearly 94,000 from the same period the year before.
