Most Popular Small Cities to Move to - Six California Cities Make the Top 100
According to the relocation website, Move Buddha, as popular cities continue to swell and grow ever more expensive, more people are seeking out smaller cities. But which small cities are people moving to?
In an attempt to figure this out, Move Buddha took a look at which small cities were most searched as destinations in 2017 and it has listed on its website the 100 most popular small cities in the United States with populations between 10,000 and 50,000.
We congratulate the California cities of Windsor (90), Red Bluff (82), Arcata (42), Foster City (31), San Luis Obispo (20) and Los Alamitos (8) for making the top 100. The full list of the most popular cities and the methodology used by Move Buddha to create its list are available
