As spring bursts into full bloom, thousands of homeowners and renters are packing up and moving to a new place they will call home.
The U.S. Census Bureau says that 35.7 million people or 11.5% of the population changed their residences from 2013 to 2014.
Cities saw a net loss of 1.7 million while the suburbs had a net gain of 2.2 million movers. Renters are the most active movers, with 24.5% moving after just a year in their current location. A new job or transfer accounted for 9.7% of the moves.
