According to our recent analysis of approx. 1.7 million renter applications, 69% of renters looked for housing in the same state, with the remaining 31% eyeing a different state for their new home.
Winners of the urban-suburban battle: Renters living in big cities and high earners are less likely to relocate to the suburbs…”
