- West Virginia leads the nation with 68.8% of households remaining in their homes since 2019, as U.S. mobility hit 11.2% in 2024, the lowest rate since the Census Bureau began tracking in 1948.
- Homeowners face a stark trade-off between keeping low-interest pandemic-era mortgages and selling at current rates hovering around 6.7%, while home prices have climbed 60% since 2019.
- While Appalachian and Northeast states cluster at the top for stability, the Sun Belt and Mountain West see higher turnover, with Oklahoma and Colorado experiencing 13% to 14% annual resident movement.
