And then on the high end, we had about 7,000 people in a town in Colorado that we looked at.
Upstate New York in the Catskills.
There's several reasons it had declined.
In certain areas, jobs had dried up, and so people had moved away.
It was harder to find work.
But from April 2020 to July 2023, the rural counties' retirees flocked to grew 4% versus less than 1% for rural America as a whole.
Some people find that their retirement savings goes further and last longer in the country.
Other folks just simply want to avoid traffic.
They don't never want to get caught in gridlock again.

Yeah.
Some people tested out the area before they moved there full time.
