A lot has been written about the so-called 'Bay Area exodus' during the pandemic. New data from the U.S. Census shows that people did indeed leave.
from the U.S. Census Bureau shows that people did indeed leave the San Francisco Bay Area counties during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The San Francisco-Oakland-Berkeley metro area saw the third-highest number of residents in the country packing up and moving between July 1, 2020, and July 1, 2021, with a net migration loss of 128,870 people. By comparison, New York-Newark-Jersey City recorded a net migration loss of 385,455, and Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim saw 204,776 people leave.
Where did the people in the San Francisco metro area go? The census didn't specify where people from a certain area moved, but we can assume some of those people may have gone to Texas, Arizona or Florida. The data shows that Texas had"four of the top 10 largest-gaining metro areas." Of the metro areas, the largest net domestic migration gains were Phoenix-Mesa-Chandler , Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington , and Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater , the U.S. Census said in a news release.
On a more granular level, San Francisco saw the sixth-highest numeric decline among counties across the country, with its population shrinking from 873,965 in April 2020 to 815,201 in July 2021, marking a 6.7% decline. Numeric decline is"the difference between the population of an area at the beginning and end of a time period," the U.S. Census said, and it takes into account births and deaths and people moving into and out of an area.
