34% of recent movers live in single-income households

More than one third (34 percent) of people who moved during the coronavirus pandemic live in a home where only one adult has a full-time job, according to a new report from Redfin, the technology-powered real estate brokerage.

By comparison, just 29 percent 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.
