The Impact Of COVID On DMA Size

Coronavirus Outbreak Facts &Amp; Covid-19 Information
Alex80, mohamed_hassan

COVID had a dramatic impact on regional populations. As the world went into a state of COVID lockdown, urban families were trapped at home. Without enough space for both adults and kids to both work remotely, they began searching for new jobs and places to live. This accelerated the dispersion of people across the United States and created housing booms.

Big cities like New York, San Francisco, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Jose, Boston, Cleveland, and Seattle all had substantial population losses during COVID. New York City alone lost over -300,000 people between 2020-2021. But even with loses this big, these large metros mostly stayed stable in Nielsen DMA Rankings post-COVID.

Big Cities Saw Historic Population Losses While Suburban Growth Declined During The Pandemic

But smaller cities, like Raleigh, NC and Salt Lake City, UT saw significant growth during COVID. More affordable and less populated, these cities had a lot more to offer stressed families trying to navigate the pandemic.

Did you move during COVID? Where did you move from? Where did you go? Let us know in the comments.
