New data released from the U.S. Census Bureau reports San Francisco had the largest percentage drop in population in the U.S. from early on in the pandemic to last summer.
"When the pandemic happened, I was just really focused on living in my shoebox environment. And COVID gave me a chance to look for a bit more space," said Tim Wong, who works in the tech industry."I definitely think we're missing a bit of culture and things to do, but there's some pretty darn good food here in the South Bay."
Daly City was the next Bay Area city with a significant drop on the U.S. Census list at 3.5%. Others like Redwood City, San Leandro, and San Jose all had a 3.1% drop over the same timeframe. "Is this just a pandemic related blip or this is a broader move away from high-cost areas?" Raisz asked.
