"As we move into a new year, the data shows that people are being much more strategic about where they move. While the massive surge of migration to the Sunbelt remains a primary driver of growth, moving to a particular state or region is taking a back seat to moving to very specific neighborhoods."

"People are increasingly heading toward the commutable edges of major metropolitan areas, where new construction and affordability offer relief from high-cost urban centers."
