【World Property Journal】One Third of Recent U.S. Movers Are Single-Income Households in 2021

Up from 29% the year before Covid outbreak

According to a new report from national property broker Redfin, more than one-third (34%) of people who moved during the coronavirus pandemic live in a home where only one adult has a full-time job.

By comparison, just 29% lived in a single-income household before the pandemic. This is based on an August 2021 Redfin survey of 1,023 U.S. residents who have moved to a new home since March 2020.

As the portion of people living in single-income households increased, the share living in dual-income households declined. Slightly more than half (58%) of the recent movers Redfin surveyed live in a home with two adults working a full-time job, down from 62% before the pandemic.
