Average October-March temperatures are in the 50s or low 60s \u00b0F, and prices here signify quality. <strong>California registers 11 top-100 snowbird destinations.<\/strong><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7271\" style=\"width: 780px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7271\" class=\"wp-image-7271 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2021\/10\/Thousand-Oaks-CA.jpg?w=770\" alt=\"Thousand Oaks CA\" width=\"770\" height=\"515\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2021\/10\/Thousand-Oaks-CA.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2021\/10\/Thousand-Oaks-CA.jpg?resize=300,201 300w, https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2021\/10\/Thousand-Oaks-CA.jpg?resize=768,514 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-7271\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Thousand Oaks, CA<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Irvine, situated southeast of LA, is our #19 ranked snowbird spot. Designed with bike lanes and parks to promote a green lifestyle, it has more than a quarter of a million residents. Active snowbirds love the sumptuous surfing opportunities at places like Huntington Beach and Newport Beach a few miles away. For zoombirds, the internet speed is 420 MBps, and for more sedate snowbirds there are four golf courses and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/self-storage\/us\/ca\/irvine\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Irvine self storage<\/a> to keep all their clubs and other gear in.<\/p>\n<p>Thousand Oaks, with a population of around 128,000, is in the west of the Greater Los Angeles area, a short drive from the legendary beach town of Malibu. There are three golf courses and plenty of park space here, plus an internet speed of 351 MBps. In addition, Thousand Oaks is also very well provided with health care centers, having 5.7 per every 1,000 of its population, a little higher than the figure for Irvine.<\/p>\n<p>Yorba Linda, with a population of around 68,000, is further inland than Irvine but makes up for that with abundant parks and the nearby Chino Hills State Park. Typical for the area are both the average October-March temperature of 60 \u00b0F, and the accommodation costs, with the home price figure currently $1,077,524 and average rent being $2,617. The local internet speed is a rapid 438 MBps, making it a good zoombird spot.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7272\" style=\"width: 780px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7272\" class=\"wp-image-7272 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2021\/10\/Yorba-Linda-CA.jpg?w=770\" alt=\"Yorba Linda CA\" width=\"770\" height=\"515\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2021\/10\/Yorba-Linda-CA.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2021\/10\/Yorba-Linda-CA.jpg?resize=300,201 300w, https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2021\/10\/Yorba-Linda-CA.jpg?resize=768,514 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-7272\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Yorba Linda, CA<\/p><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Snowbirding-is-not-just-for-mom-and-pop-%E2%80%94-millennials-are-hopping-on-the-southbound-bandwagon\"><\/span>Snowbirding is not just for mom and pop \u2014 millennials are hopping on the southbound bandwagon<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The snowbirds\u2019 image tends to be of retirees, baby boomer couples who paid off their mortgages, saw their children fly the nest, and are now enjoying their savings. However, the lifestyle offers more than games of golf and shuffleboard \u2014 windsurfing and other water sports are very popular at many snowbird destinations. The average median age across the top 100 destinations is about 38, similar to the national median, indicating there will be activities for younger people at many of these hotspots \u2014 though perhaps not at the #1 destination, Venice, FL, which has the oldest median age at 69.1!<\/p>\n<p>Younger people may not have the savings their parents and grandparents accumulated. But if they want to go to the very best snowbird destinations, the good news is that the average of the rents for the top 10 spots ($1,549) is almost identical to the average across the entire set ($1,540). The corresponding figures for home prices are even better: The average of the top 10 places ($363,036) is considerably less than the average of all the locations ($430,468). And for self storage rents, the top 10 destinations average $104 compared to $130 across the entire range. Quality snowbird locations and affordable living are clearly not mutually exclusive.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Snowmads-and-workampers-make-snowbirding-pay-%E2%80%94-the-Tampa-Phoenix-areas-accommodate-them\"><\/span>Snowmads and workampers make snowbirding pay \u2014 the Tampa &amp; Phoenix areas accommodate them<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Many young people who had to work online from home during the pandemic now feel this lifestyle is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/edwardsegal\/2021\/08\/26\/companies-and-workers-differ-over-plans-and-priorities-for-returning-to-offices\/?sh=19b3e12d6183\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">in many ways preferable<\/a>, as evidenced by the companies now promoting this option.

Seasonal jobs often coincide with the period they are there, and this can help fund their lifestyle. Hospitality, security, cleaning and administrative jobs can be found in campgrounds, restaurants and theme parks. RVers \u2014 and other travelers who take their homes with them \u2014 are called \u201cworkampers,\u201d and there are plenty of places where they can hook up their fifth wheelers.

The US\u2019s southern states offer much in terms of great weather and entertainment, and not traveling abroad makes health concerns more manageable. Many locations with plenty of winter sun also offer good value and safe environments, and less populous places often win out over larger ones, offering more peace of mind in terms of health concerns. California and South Carolina suit many people wanting beach life, while Florida offers the same with added winter warmth. But Arizona\u2019s sunny locations, with their reputation for safety and range of things to enjoy, offer particularly good deals right now, as does southern Texas. Snowbirding in the US looks to become even more popular than it ever was. Not only does it have many advantages over both foreign travel and spending winter back home in the cold, but it is very well suited to our newly enlarged digital economy.<\/p>\n<p>This is the complete list of the best 100 snowbird destinations in 2021-22. Order whichever column represents your most important preference, for example access to the most miles of beach or the largest number of golf courses.

2021-22?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I am actually going to be spending the winter in Canada as I love the skiing, but if I was a Canadian snowbird moving south for the winter, being risk-averse, I would choose the southern states that are taking the virus seriously and getting their populations vaccinated. New Mexico and California, for example, already have around 60% of people fully vaccinated, as do Florida and Hawaii. Other popular destinations for snowbirds like Arizona, Nevada, Texas and South Carolina are lagging behind with vaccinations, although I have a soft spot for South Carolina having lived there for 10 years, and would choose the Charleston area because of its culture, history, architecture, proximity to beautiful beaches, and fabulous restaurants.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"lightweight-accordion\"><details><summary class=\"lightweight-accordion-title\"><span>Read more....<\/span><\/summary><div class=\"lightweight-accordion-body\"><blockquote>\n<p>If snowbirds want to fly further afield, then I would recommend the Caribbean. Islands have been busy adapting to the pandemic and are getting their populations vaccinated in order to provide a safe environment for visitors. The Dominican Republic, for example, has set a target of immunizing 7.8 million people &#8211; over 70% of the population. Costa Rica may also be another option. Known for its stunning natural landscape and wildlife, the country is home to more than 5% of the world\u2019s known biodiversity and more than 27 national parks and wildlife sanctuaries. Costa Rica opened up for tourism well before many other countries after lockdown, and it appears that the government\u2019s quick actions and the country\u2019s universal healthcare system have been successful in reducing the spread of the virus.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>With the increase in remote teleworking due to the pandemic, do you see snowbirding becoming more popular with younger generations?<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Yes \u2013 absolutely. In fact, with the absence of tourists because of the pandemic, many destinations have gone out of their way to attract long-stay digital nomads of any age to replace tourists. Barbados was one of the first to launch a year-long work visa during the crisis, and others have followed suit. Costa Rica, for example, launched a digital nomad visa called the Rentista, and Hawaii initiated a relocation program called Movers and Shakas aimed at attracting working professionals to work remotely from Hawaii. I am currently living in Portugal, where we have seen an increasing number of younger digital nomads relocating here from all over the world. There are several really successful digital nomad Facebook groups in the Algarve which offer advice and help as well as friendship, events, accommodation and workspace sharing.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Do you think Canadians will be able to return in big numbers to their favorite US snowbird spots this year?<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>I think they will be able to (restrictions will have eased enough to allow snowbirds to move south without too much hassle), but whether or not they will travel south in large numbers is doubtful. Travelers at the moment, particularly older generations, are cautious, and the public health conditions and hygiene standards of destinations they travel to will become a top priority. Destinations that can satisfy increased demands for health and wellness, wilderness and visits to national parks will benefit more than others. The other concern is whether their health insurance would cover them for COVID in their usual winter destination and if the medical facilities are of high quality.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div><\/details><\/div>\n<h3 id=\"LDuffy\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lauren-Duffy-Associate-Professor-Clemson-University-College-of-Behavioral-Social-and-Health-Sciences\"><\/span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-7330 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2021\/10\/Lauren-Nicole-Duffy.jpg?w=300\" alt=\"Lauren Duffy, Associate Professor, Clemson University, College of Behavioral, Social and Health Sciences\" width=\"300\" height=\"301\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2021\/10\/Lauren-Nicole-Duffy.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2021\/10\/Lauren-Nicole-Duffy.jpg?resize=150,150 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Lauren Duffy, Associate Professor, Clemson University, College of Behavioral, Social and Health Sciences<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>What US destinations would you recommend to snowbirds in 2021-22?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Making the right destination choice always comes back down to what the traveler is looking to get out of their vacation. While by definition a snowbird is someone seeking a \u2018warmer\u2019 place to be temporarily, coming South during the winter doesn\u2019t just escape the harsh weather, but also the gray skies and seasonal affective depression, while also capturing opportunities for off-season prices and less crowded attractions. The 2021\/22 winter season also presents a cohort of snowbirds who may have missed this opportunity last year as they waited on a Covid-19 vaccine to become available. Coupled with the stresses of the past 18 months, this winter we may see the following types of destinations particularly popular among snowbirds:<br \/>\nBucket list destinations. If nothing else, Covid-19 brought to attention that life is short and we aren\u2019t always in control. Many of us have a list of places that we have \u2018always wanted to see or visit\u2019 and just kept putting off. Particularly with snowbirds, who are most often retired, yet mobile and financially resourced, there is increased incentive this year to knock off some of these destinations. Likewise, the winter season presents smaller crowds and an easier time making reservations in really popular destinations. Iconic destinations such as Nashville, TN, Charleston, SC, New Orleans, LA, and San Antonio, TX, may see some of these visitors this winter.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"lightweight-accordion\"><details><summary class=\"lightweight-accordion-title\"><span>Read more....<\/span><\/summary><div class=\"lightweight-accordion-body\"><blockquote>\n<p>Nature-based tourist destinations. Over the Covid-19 pandemic, nature-based tourism destinations have seen a growth in visitors, new and returning. Participation in outdoor recreation activities have hit all-time highs, such as hiking and camping. Similarly, the pandemic sent sales of recreational vehicles (RVs) through the roof as people sought to escape quarantine for spaces and places that were deemed safe. Consequences of this meant that reserving RV sites and getting access to national parks, state parks, wilderness and nature preserves, and other protected areas has been more difficult due to demand. This winter, we may see some returning nature-based snowbirds looking to connect back with nature; however, instead of only looking at the most popular parks, state parks and other preserves may capture some of these visitors as well. Destinations that have all the comforts (places to stay, eat, and drink) but are also in proximity to nature may find themselves with continuous flow of snowbirds this winter: Asheville, NC, which is nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains with a non-traditional, artsy vibe has the Great Smokey Mountain National Park in its backyard; Las Vegas, NV though known for entertainment, glam and consumption, also offers convenient access to a number of national parks (e.g., Death Valley, Red Rock Canyon) and Lake Mead National Recreational Area; or a state like Virginia, who is actively courting nature-based tourists in their Virginia is for Outdoor Lovers campaign, offering creative networks of outdoor sites along their Virginia Bird &amp; Wildlife Trail or the Virginia Oyster Trail.<br \/>\nMid-Size Cities. Mid-size cities will attract their share of snowbirds this year as these locations still have unique character and sense of place, are more affordable, and long-term snowbirds can integrate into the fabric of the community more easily without constantly feeling like a tourist. Places like Greenville, SC, Knoxville, TN, Chattanooga, TN, and Greensboro, NC all have a nice city vibe, plenty of places to eat and drink, coffee shops to do a little work, and plenty of shops and art galleries to spend the afternoon.<br \/>\nClassic Sun, Sand, and Sea. Florida has always been associated with the migration south of snowbirds. While more recently this market has diversified, and thus are traveling to places all across the south, southeast and west coast, there is still a tried-and-true market looking for a traditional sun, sand, and sea reprieve. Florida continues to offer warmer temperatures and sunny skies through the year, as do destinations in Georgia. Sarasota, Port St. Lucie, St. Cloud, Naples, and Ft. Myers, Florida are sure to be popular destinations for retirees and snowbirds this year. In Georgia, St. Simons Island, Jekyll Island, Cumberland Island, and Tybee Island, all offer a sandy beach, tied in with tons of nature preserves and cultural resources. Those not eager to fly yet, might find some of Georgia\u2019s coastline appealing because of the better drive times.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>With the increase in remote teleworking due to the pandemic, do you see snowbirding becoming more popular with younger generations?<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>The boundaries of work and life have been blurred, perhaps permanently. Covid-19 has demonstrated what some of us intuitively knew: many jobs can be done remotely, opening up the possibilities of more mobile, nomadic lifestyles. While there will still be an interest in creating community, especially for young families that have kids (who are enrolled in school 9-months of the year), there are new perspectives of what\u2019s possible when it comes to traveling and relocating throughout the year. I suspect that for young couples or professionals, they will capitalize on opportunities to experience more before they take on mortgages, kids, or other responsibilities. However, the economic, political, and environmental instability that these generations (i.e., millennials and Gen Z) have experienced, may also keep them more dedicated to their job and the security of a steady income.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Do you think Canadians will be able to return in big numbers to their favorite US snowbird spots this year?<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>The largest challenge the U.S. faces for tapping into the Canadian travel market this winter is still connected to perceived safety with regard to public health and response to the Covid-19 pandemic, as well as the logistical conveniences of being able to travel internationally. Simply, our high rates of infection and low rates of vaccination, especially in the south, has and will continue to deter international travelers, especially those in high-risk categories such as an older market of snowbirds. While we can lift restrictions and make testing and tracking seamless now \u2013 and we are in the horizon of booster shots and vaccines for children under 12, why would a Canadian visit the U.S. if they can travel to other destinations offering the same opportunities to escape to warmer weather? By looking strictly at vaccinations rate to date, the U.S. has less than \u00bd of the population fully vaccinated whereas Canada has just over 70% fully vaccinated; what that suggests is a very different perception towards Covid-19 mitigation, and thus, Canadians may not be interested in traveling anywhere that puts them at greater risk. It will be tough for destinations within the U.S. to overcome this barrier for the upcoming winter.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div><\/details><\/div>\n<h3 id=\"CVogt\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Christine-Vogt-Emeritus-Professor-Arizona-State-University-School-of-Community-Resources-Development\"><\/span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-large wp-image-7331\" src=\"https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2021\/10\/Christine-Vogt.jpg?w=300\" alt=\"Christine Vogt, Emeritus Professor, Arizona State University, School of Community Resources &amp; Development\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2021\/10\/Christine-Vogt.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2021\/10\/Christine-Vogt.jpg?resize=150,150 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Christine Vogt, Emeritus Professor, Arizona State University, School of Community Resources &amp; Development<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>What US destinations would you recommend to snowbirds in 2021-22?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Snowbirds like sun and warmer temperatures. So states in the southern part of the U.S. are generally most popular with snowbirds. Wildfires, smoke, and weather are other considerations that snowbirds are likely to consider in 2021-22. Covid rates and vaccination rates continue to be a concern for all travelers. States with higher vaccination rates and public health policies to protect the public are more likely to be preferred by those who are vaccinated. Southern California and Southern Nevada would be winter choices. For those not vaccinated and less supportive of COVID measures Texas and Florida would be attractive. Travelers should also be aware of hospital capacities if any health concerns come about on a winter stay in a new community.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"lightweight-accordion\"><details><summary class=\"lightweight-accordion-title\"><span>Read more....<\/span><\/summary><div class=\"lightweight-accordion-body\"><p>\nWith the increase in remote teleworking due to the pandemic, do you see snowbirding becoming more popular with younger generations?<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Travel is becoming an even higher priority for younger generations that have remote teleworking positions or those who saved money to travel for a year or two. During the pandemic it has become easier to work and travel simultaneously. This younger generation is not likely to be taking residency in the communities or campgrounds where snowbirds flock.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Do you think Canadians will be able to return in big numbers to their favorite US snowbird spots this year?<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Some Canadians will return to the U.S. in 2021-22, but not in large numbers. Those who come are likely to be those who own a house in the U.S. or have family in the states. If Canadians are not committed to a certain destination, then they will likely look for states with higher vaccinated populations and lower levels of hospitalizations. Given Canada\u2019s health system, Canadians are more likely to stay above the border until the pandemic is under more control.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div><\/details><\/div>\n<h3 id=\"JForney\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Judith-Forney-Professor-Director-of-Research-at-GDDRC-University-of-North-Texas-Department-of-Hospitality-Tourism-Management\"><\/span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-large wp-image-7332\" src=\"https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2021\/10\/Judith-Forney.jpg?w=300\" alt=\"Judith Forney, Professor &amp; Director of Research at GDDRC, University of North Texas, Department of Hospitality &amp; Tourism Management\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2021\/10\/Judith-Forney.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2021\/10\/Judith-Forney.jpg?resize=150,150 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Judith Forney, Professor &amp; Director of Research at GDDRC, University of North Texas, Department of Hospitality &amp; Tourism Management<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>With the increase in remote teleworking due to the pandemic, do you see snowbirding becoming more popular with younger generations?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>In the first year of Covid-19, many U.S. companies moved employees to remote teleworking to keep ongoing businesses (B2B) and customers (B2C) engagements. Digital connections made this possible by removing barriers of time and physical location. It was possible for businesses, suppliers, and consumers to engage anytime, anywhere, anyplace. This situation was further enhanced by the quick adoption of virtual meeting platforms that supported ongoing business needs to connect work teams and for business employees to chat with consumers. Digital connections changed the dynamics of what, when, where, and how work is done. While this workplace change was necessary to maintain operations, it demonstrated that for many job categories, meaningful work does not have to be place bound. Moreover, remote teleworking offers added value to both the employer and employee with the benefit time efficiencies.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"lightweight-accordion\"><details><summary class=\"lightweight-accordion-title\"><span>Read more....<\/span><\/summary><div class=\"lightweight-accordion-body\"><blockquote>\n<p>Younger employees, including Millennials and incoming Gen Z, are avid travelers. For them, travel is a shared experience that is posted to social media to document important life experiences. Remote teleworking makes it possible for them to relocate to different parts of the country and even the world. This is possible as long as there is reliable Internet access at a sufficient speed to do work. While traditional snow birds are retired citizens, remote teleworking makes moving to warmer climates for the winter possible. Seasonal relocation may be a desirable option for remote teleworking employees. This opportunity would be especially appealing to younger employees who want to expand their life experiences by traveling and living in different geographic places at this stage of their life.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div><\/details><\/div>\n<h3 id=\"PXie\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Philip-Xie-Professor-of-Tourism-Hospitality-and-Event-Management-Bowling-Green-State-University-School-of-Human-Movement-Sport-Leisure-Studies\"><\/span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-large wp-image-7333\" src=\"https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2021\/10\/Philip-Xie.jpg?w=300\" alt=\"Philip Xie, Professor of Tourism, Hospitality and Event Management, Bowling Green State University, School of Human Movement, Sport, &amp; Leisure Studies\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2021\/10\/Philip-Xie.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2021\/10\/Philip-Xie.jpg?resize=150,150 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Philip Xie, Professor of Tourism, Hospitality and Event Management, Bowling Green State University, School of Human Movement, Sport, &amp; Leisure Studies<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>What US destinations would you recommend to snowbirds in 2021-22?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>There are two types of US destinations recommended for snowbirds in 2021-22: (1) traditional destinations located in warmer places in the Sun Belt including Florida and Arizona, such as Clearwater, St. Petersburg, Panama City, Tucson and Phoenix. These destinations have an excellent infrastructure, well-established retirement communities and winter vacation rentals for snowbirds; and (2) emerging destinations beyond Florida and Arizona. For example, the growing popularity of Coastal Mississippi, parts of California and South Carolina have drawn snowbirds to find affordable housing with rich culture and natural beauty. These destinations are perfect for the snowbird seeking warm weather without the crowds of some retirement communities. Affordability is also a major factor for snowbirds to choose a suitable spot.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"lightweight-accordion\"><details><summary class=\"lightweight-accordion-title\"><span>Read more....<\/span><\/summary><div class=\"lightweight-accordion-body\"><p>\nWith the increase in remote teleworking due to the pandemic, do you see snowbirding becoming more popular with younger generations?<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>The global pandemic engenders a group of \u201cdigital nomad\u201d who is actively seeking remote working. It is reshaping a future new world of snowbirding industry. Younger generation are moving to winter vacation rentals and using them as offices. Remote working went from a fringe idea to many people\u2019s reality. Both traditional and emerging snowbird destinations have increasingly become new lifestyles for younger generation. There is a new village in Croatia has been launched and aimed specifically at digital nomads in 2021. These destinations, originally catering to snowbirds, have transformed to people who are willing to work remotely.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Do you think Canadians will be able to return in big numbers to their favorite US snowbird spots this year?<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Despite the fact that US\/Canada border remains closed to non-essential travel, Canadian snowbirds start returning to their favorite destinations this year. There is a pent-up demand from Canadian snowbirds to return to a warmer climate. However, the existing data reported from Sarasota Herald-Tribune shows that while over 90% of snowbirds express an interest to return, probably 50% to 60% eventually arrive. Many snowbirds are making arrangement to fly to the US and have their cars shipped to the destinations. The cost of moving to these destinations has increased significantly, including the health insurance and booming real estate market, therefore, Canadian snowbirds will be back, but not in big numbers.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div><\/details><\/div>\n<h3 id=\"FMeng\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fang-Meng-PhD-Professor-School-of-Hotel-Restaurant-and-Tourism-Management-College-of-Hospitality-Retail-and-Sport-Management-University-of-South-Carolina\"><\/span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-large wp-image-7508\" src=\"https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2021\/10\/Fang-Meng.jpg?w=300\" alt=\"Fang Meng, Professor School of Hotel, Restaurant and Tourism Management College of Hospitality, Retail and Sport Management University of South Carolina\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2021\/10\/Fang-Meng.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2021\/10\/Fang-Meng.jpg?resize=150,150 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Fang Meng, Ph.D., Professor, School of Hotel, Restaurant and Tourism Management, College of Hospitality, Retail and Sport Management, University of South Carolina<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>What US destinations would you recommend to snowbirds in 2021-22?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Florida is always one of the top states for snowbirds, as well as California and Arizona. South Carolina and Texas would be more budget friendly for snowbirds. Other Sun Belt states such as New Mexico, Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, and Georgia are also good choices.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"lightweight-accordion\"><details><summary class=\"lightweight-accordion-title\"><span>Read more....<\/span><\/summary><div class=\"lightweight-accordion-body\"><p>\nWith the increase in remote teleworking due to the pandemic, do you see snowbirding becoming more popular with younger generations?<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Yes this is the new trend for snowbirding. Snowbirds used to refer to retirees who chase better weather but now this group has mixed demographics with younger generations. During the pandemic, remote teleworking has increasingly become a norm for young professionals, which allows them to migrate during the winter, too. During this pandemic young professionals can work anywhere with their laptop and Internet, and many routine transactions of life can be conducted online as well. Particularly for the younger generations who live in big cities, remote teleworking provide this opportunity for them to enjoy this different lifestyle of snowbird that they did not have before.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Do you think Canadians will be able to return in big numbers to their favorite US snowbird spots this year?<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>I expect more numbers of Canadian snowbirds to the U.S. than that of last year. Pent-up demand is generated as many snowbirds were not able to travel last winter and there is better status of COVID-19 vaccinations in the U.S. in 2021. However, I am not very optimistic about the \u201cbig numbers\u201d in Canadian snowbirds, as COVID cases are still going up and down these days and we see tens of thousands or over a hundred of thousands COVID cases in the U.S. each day. Snowbird destinations which handle COVID more effectively and are perceived \u201csafer\u201d will be more attractive to snowbirds.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div><\/details><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Methodology\"><\/span>Methodology<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><em>This analysis was done by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">StorageCafe<\/a>, an online platform that provides storage unit listings across the nation.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>We analyzed a total of 916 cities, with populations greater than 20,000 and for which we had complete data, to come up with the top 10 and top 100 best snowbird destinations.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>The metrics included in the overall score and their weightings are the following: October 2019 \u2013 March 2020 average temperature (20%); the percentage of seasonal homes out of the vacant housing stock (20%); offenses known to law enforcement as a percentage of population (20%); total beach length within a 10-mile radius of the city (10%); the median house price in 2019 (5%); park surface per capita in the city (5%); number of golf courses in the city (5%);\u00a0 average internet speed (5%);\u00a0 Health care and social assistance establishments per 1,000 of the population (5%); and the average self storage rate for a 10\u00d710 non-climate-controlled unit (5%).<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>For the metrics presented above, a higher value means a better ranking\u00a0with the exception of\u00a0the following: offenses known to law enforcement as a percentage of the population, for which a lower value means a better ranking; the average\u00a0self storage\u00a0rate, for which less-expensive cities get a better ranking.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>The temperature\u00a0data was taken from <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/weathersource.com\/covid-19\/\"><em>weathersource.com<\/em><\/a><em>.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>The data about home prices was obtained from Zillow, while the average rents were taken from Yardi Matrix. <\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>The total beach length within a\u00a010-mile\u00a0radius of the city\u00a0was computed using the US Environmental Protection Agency 2020 BEACON\u00a0dataset for active beaches with public access.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>The park surface area data was obtained from the Trust for Public Land 2020\u00a0ParkServe\u00a0dataset, for open parks, trails and recreation areas with open access.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>The golf course data was taken from the GolfNow.com course directory.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>The data for offenses known to law enforcement was taken from the Federal Bureau of Investigation\u2019s 2019 Uniform Crime Reporting program.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>The average internet speed data was taken from BroadbandNow.com.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>The percentage of &#8216;vacant&#8217; homes for seasonal use was computed using the US Census Bureau\u2019s 2019 ACS data.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>The numbers of health care and social assistance establishments per 1,000 of the population were calculated using 2019 US Census data.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>The average\u00a0self storage\u00a0street rates were computed using data from Yardi Matrix.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fair-Use-and-Distribution\"><\/span>Fair Use and Distribution<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This study serves as a resource for the general public on issues of common interest and should not be regarded as investment advice.
