Climate Migration: Why Americans Are Moving from Phoenix and Florida to the Midwest
Doug McIntyre discusses the trend of people relocating from places like Phoenix and Florida to the Midwest due to climate change. Known as climate migration, this shift is driven by the Midwest’s more temperate climate, which lacks the extreme heat and hurricanes common in the South. Rising insurance rates and the risk of severe weather events are pushing people to seek safer and more affordable living conditions in the Midwest. This reverse migration trend could soon be reflected in census data.
