Data: U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2020-2024 5-year estimates.
Dayton, in Lyon County, has about 15,800 residents and is a town of homeowners. With about 80 percent of homes owner occupied and only 8.2 percent of residents having moved in the past year, Dayton households stay put. When one does leave for another state, it is usually a full house in a long-held home, not a quick apartment move.
A town of long stays
The Census share of Dayton residents who moved in the past year, 8.2 percent, is among the lowest in our service area. People settle in Dayton. Garages fill with tools, sheds with lawn gear, and the house with furniture bought for the space. A long-distance estimate here is built around volume, because the weight the Bekins network carries sets the price.
Those 396 residents who arrived from another state are the other half of the story. Some of them will be among the next to leave.
