Most of the people who move to cities seem to be single and young when they do. It doesn't seem so much about couples per say - but just individuals in general

Most of the people who move to cities seem to be single and young when they do. It doesn't seem so much about couples per say - but just individuals in general who want better job mobility.
- cameldrv 9y agoAs I said, it's one factor, and as harmegido said, it creates a movement towards big cities, but probably equally importantly, prevents movement to small cities, since if either partner gets a hot offer in a small town, it's much harder to accept if it means that the other partner's career opportunities are diminished.
- taysic 9y agoAnecdotally, it seems to me that couples, particularly those that have kids are more likely to move outside of cities and accept a longer commute to live in larger or safer homes ore better schools. Not that they move to small cities per say - but it seems they are more likely to do so than single individuals.
