More than 9 out of 10 Boston residents say they want to stay in the area for the foreseeable future, making its residents the second-most loyal of any city in the country, according to a recent report by Redfin.com.

Redfin looked at the migration patterns of homebuyers as based on searches for homes from people living outside that market. Nationally, about 80 percent of people searched for homes exclusively in their market. In Boston, 91.6 percent of Redfin users searched for homes only in that area, according to the study. Only Chicago residents were more loyal, with 92.5 percent of residents looking for homes exclusively in that area.

Boston’s status as having some of the most dedicated residents largely bucks the trend across the country of residents leaving expensive markets for cheaper, greener pastures. The three metros with the biggest outflow of residents are San Francisco, New York and Los Angeles – some of the most expensive markets in the country.

“We found that some of the most expensive metros had the largest net outflow,” the Redfin study says.

Where residents look to leave

Boston did make the top 10 list for net outflow, defined by Redfin as the number of local users searching for a home in a different metro minus the number of users from another metro searching for a home in the subject metro. The market had 710 more people looking to live elsewhere than stay local. That number seems high—but it’s only 8.4 percent of market residents looking to reside elsewhere.

For those looking to leave Boston, the most popular destination is Portland, ME, according to Redfin. The second-most popular destination is Miami.
