The post office received 295,103 change of address requests from March 1 through Oct. 31, according to data obtained from the US Postal Service under a Freedom of Information Act request. While many city dwellers decamped to Long Island, New Jersey, Westchester and Connecticut, others scattered across the country.
The Postal Service data shows only the destination ZIP codes and counties where more than 10 New Yorkers forwarded their mail — and it points to places like Park City, Utah; Jackson, Wyo., and Brattleboro, Vt.
Of New York City residents who earn $100,000 or more annually, 44% have considered moving out of the city in the past four months. Looking ahead, 37% say that it is at least somewhat likely that they will not be living in the city within the next two years.
