People leaving San Francisco in droves, but not too far

It's true that more people left San Francisco than arrived during the first eight months of the pandemic according to change-of-address data from the US Postal Service.  About 27,000 households arrived and 80,000 left (not quite double compared to 2019).


According to the USPS data, 50% of those departing San Francisco didn't leave the Bay area.  The top destinations were the counties immediately surrounding the Bay -- Alameda, San Mateo, Marin, Contra Costa, Santa Clara and Sonoma.

To me the most interesting part of these statistics is that virtually the same number of households moved into San Francisco in 2020 as the previous year.
