With June closing in on us, it’s time for thousands of Americans to begin moving. The vast majority of US moves take place during the summer months. Here’s why most people end up moving in the summer:
- It’s warmer – no one likes moving in the snow.
- No school – Students from all levels are on break during the summer, making it an opportune time to move.
- Military transfers – Most occur in the summer months.
- Vacancy – Because most people move in the summer, it tends to be the time most leases end, opening up vacancies.
So, we answered when do people move. What about where they’re moving? Check out our moving map, which shows where people are moving to and from in the U.S.
