Only 3 percent of Americans relocated, either permanently or temporarily, during the COVID-19 pandemic, but a new survey says many more people were touched by those decisions.

The Pew Research Center surveyed 9,654 Americans between June 4 and 10 and found that 6 percent had someone move in with them due to the pandemic and another 14 percent did not have someone move in with them and did not move themselves, but knew someone who did move.

Moving was driven by a range of factors, not all related to health concerns. The largest share of those who moved – 28 percent – said they wanted to reduce their risk of contracting COVID-19, while 23 percent said their college campus had closed. Another 18 percent said their decision was motivated by finances, including eight percent who had lost their job. Over 60 percent of those who moved, of all ages and races, said they moved in with family.

Much of this movement was concentrated among Generation Z and the youngest Millennials. Fully 37 percent of those ages 18 to 29 said they moved, someone moved into their house or they knew someone who moved, compared to only 9 percent of those over 65. By race, 28 percent of Latinx respondents had one of those experiences, compared to 24 percent of Asian American respondents, 20 percent of white respondents and 19 percent of Black respondents.

The data also suggests the better off someone was, the more likely they were to have moved. Twenty-one percent of adults with incomes above $150,000 said they knew someone who moved, compared to 14 percent of those with incomes below $30,000; 19 percent of those with college degrees said they knew someone who moved compared to 9 percent of those with a high school education or less.
