The pandemic has changed our way of life in more ways than one! As many companies switch over to new work-from-home policies, more employees have decided to make big moves to more affordable cities.

With rent and cost of living being so high in the Bay Area and California in general, it's no surprise that many people have decided to relocate.

According to the San Francisco Chronicle, San Francisco and San Mateo County say a huge decrease in population from 2020-2021. The top ten area on the list are as follows:

  1. New York County, NY (Manhattan) -6.6%
  2. San Francisco County, CA -6.3%
  3. Calcasieu Parish, LA -5.1%
  4. San Mateo County, CA -3.2%
  5. Kings County, NY (Brooklyn) -3.2%
  6. Suffolk County, MA -3.0%
  7. Washington, D.C. -2.9%
  8. Bronx County, NY -2.8%
  9. Hudson County, NJ -2.8%
  10. Alexandria, VA -2.8%

"San Francisco rents have been bouncing back after tumbling at the beginning of the pandemic, and more companies are asking employees to return to the office."
