A new report finds that Vermont had a surge of people moving to the state during the pandemic.

The Public Assets Institute reports the state saw a net gain of more than 3,000 residents in 2020 and 2021, the largest increase since the Internal Revenue Service began tracking state-to-state migration in the 1990’s.

Overall about 19,000 people moved to Vermont while about 16,400 left the state. The Institute says more than three-quarters of those who came to Vermont were from a blue state and those moving away went to another blue state.
