So probably there's a bunch of deliberate self-sorting now. The Carolinas/GA coastal areas, which previously weren't even in play, seem to attract a different crowd, I think?
Atlanta is attracting loads of black retirees, Florida is a mixed bag depending on the city being spoken of, and the Carolinas see a large influx of southern retirees iirc.
