In 2025, U.S. counties at high risk of poor air quality lost 277,740 residents, about half the number lost in 2021 during the pandemic peak. While air quality concerns influence some moves, housing affordability is a stronger factor, with people leaving expensive high-risk counties like Los Angeles and New York for more affordable ones such as Boise and Palm Springs. Migration away from poor air quality areas has slowed since 2021, reflecting a reduction in pandemic-driven relocations. Despite wildfire smoke concerns, most Americans prioritize cost and lifestyle over air quality when moving, with many investing in home air filtration systems to adapt to smoky conditions.
