New York City Gen Zers are moving to this Pennsylvania valley home to ‘Christmas City USA’

New York’s youngest movers have a surprising favorite escape, and it isn’t Jersey City, Philly or Austin. According to U-Haul’s latest migration report , the top destination for Gen Zers leaving the New York City area is Pennsylvania’s Lehigh Valley, the region that’s home to Allentown, Easton and Bethlehem, better known as “Christmas City USA.” What U-Haul found For its 2026 Midyear Migration Trends report, U-Haul analyzed one-way truck rentals from July 2025 through June 2026 and sorted them by generation, to see where people at different stages of life are actually moving.
