NEW YORK, Jan. 26, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Piece of Cake Moving & Storage, the New York based moving company, released its second annual Makin’ Moves Report, based on the 60,000+ moves facilitated by the company in 2022. The report analyzes moving data and highlights important trends in population movement in New York, Florida, and across the U.S.
The report found that while more people moved than ever before in 2022, that didn’t necessarily mean they went far. For example, the most common move New Yorkers (79%) and Floridians (75%) made was within their respective states.
“Our Makin’ Moves Report highlights the realities of moving in 2022, following the prior pandemic years,” says Voyo Popovic, Founder & CEO of Piece of Cake Moving & Storage. “Despite rising housing costs and a rental market in extreme flux, we doubled the number of customers we moved in 2022, and saw a dramatic increase in people moving from Manhattan to Brooklyn and Queens. For the country that never stops moving, the Piece of Cake Moving team is honored to be trusted by our customers to enter their homes and move them every day.”
Here is a small sample of interesting moving trends and stats from Piece of Cake’s 2022 Makin’ Moves Report:
- The top 5 states that New Yorkers moved to: New York, New Jersey, Florida, Connecticut, & California.
- Within New York City, Brooklyn and Queens had significantly higher net moves to them than the Bronx and Manhattan.
- Notably, almost all Manhattan neighborhoods had a higher number of people move out of them than the city at-large. Meanwhile, four of the five NYC neighborhoods with the most net moves were in Brooklyn (Boerum Hill, Prospect- Lefferts Gardens, Downtown Brooklyn, and Greenpoint).
