Residents of Chicago are running for the exits

The New York Post reports:
Rolf Pendall of the Urban Institute’s Metropolitan Housing and Communities Policy Center called the trend “a pent-up demand to migrate” by people in their 20s and 30s and a bump in births “in places where families want to move anyway.”

As baby boomers age, US deaths in some regions are expected to rise, which could be contributing to some of the population dips, too.

“In a lot of the colder northern areas — St. Louis, Chicago, but also the northern states — they just don’t have as many young people living there as the rest of the country,” Pendall said.
