The early 2000s continued a trend of Americans moving from smaller cities in the US to larger cities, usually in search of a better job.
Since then, Census data has reflected a shift that shows Americans choosing smaller cities with a population of 500,000 to 1,000,000.
The data shows that many residential movers in cities like Philadelphia, PA will be affected by this population shift, while smaller cities will still fail to attract much in the way of population growth.
