(152,652 posts)that "trend" is apparently reversing. I.e., you have more of a net migration OUT of those "sun belt" (disaster prone) areas.
I.e., the "rate" of influx to those areas has dropped. So although there is still an influx, it's slowing. And you can see at the link to the Redfin data (and chart), WHO has been getting a rate increase of influx and that is the blue metro areas (and by proximity, most likely their suburbs). We have already seen that shift in the vote with the red, pink, and purple suburban areas around the blue cities, becoming more and more blue, and some of that is coming from people who had "moved south and west", and are now "coming home". You also had states like OR and CO actually pick up a seat each after the 2020 census (both have voted blue in the recent past).
The one fly in the ointment would be a state like VA, that had been getting a big influx over the years due to the federal presence, which helped to swing it to blue, but right now, that is being completely obliterated.
