Work-from-home allowed people to move to lower cost of living areas.
This honestly would be more interesting broken down by individual metro areas so you could better see the flight to the suburbs that happened because everyone could work from home.
It would be nice to add the city name(s) for these counties. Rockwall County, TX, is a suburb of Dallas, for example.
Why did people leave Alaska? Was it because of the lack or cruise ships?
