People seem to be talking about it all the time: Why are so many people leaving the Chicago area?
"I'm very happy with the move I made to Georgia. It's been six months now and I'm very relaxed here," said Deborah Moore.
The ABC Data Team looked at relocation trends by analyzing United States Postal Service change-of-address forms. They found that over the last five years, at least 294,000 people left the Chicago Metro Area, which includes suburban Naperville and Elgin. Only New York City and San Francisco saw bigger population declines.
"As we speak, there's about $170 million of development, construction and investment happening within a two and a half three block radius," said Carlos Nelson, CEO of the Greater Auburn Gresham Development Corporation which wants to reverse that trend.
