Is the Big Apple losing its allure?

With a long history of attracting young professionals, New York City has long been known as a "must move to" hot spot.

And this is based on US Census net migration data from 2018 — before the pandemic. SmartAsset ranked the list by subtracting the number of people ages 25 to 39 who moved out of each city from the number of people in the same age range who moved into the same city in 2017.
