The moving trends in New York City from 2000 to 2024 tell a powerful story. From the early 2000s dot-com boom and the post-2008 recovery, to the rise in demand driven by remote work, the city’s moving patterns have mirrored major shifts in lifestyle and economy. However, the most dramatic dip came in 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic caused moves to plummet to around 300,000 — one of the lowest points in over two decades.

For The Right Move L.I., this wasn’t just a downturn — it was a defining moment. As the city changed, so did we. The pandemic became an opportunity to reimagine our role, improve our operations, and reconnect with what matters most: people. What followed was a period of deep transformation, service innovation, and community support.
