A recent study by Apartment List found that renters in the Washington, D.C., area are more likely to relocate to a new city than the national average.
The Washington Post reports that of the 24,000 renters surveyed, 77 percent of D.C. renters plan to settle down in a different city, compared with 64 percent of renters nationwide. 42 percent of D.C. renters cited the high rental costs in the city as their main reason for leaving.
Despite this, D.C. will not be abandoned; the city remains among the top three destinations for renters from other U.S. cities.
