You're getting all the "folks" who can't afford to live in CA anymore.
Where do you live? City, suburbs, backwoods?

Been that way since I was a kid in the '80s. Last time WA had an R governor was in January 1985, when I was nine.
Now, it's all the people moving to work for Micro$oft and Amazon... And, lately, with all the unrest in Seattle itself, everyone and their brother/sister seems to be moving to Bellevue, Redmond, etc, enlarging those cities. Bellevue went from 73,000 in the 1980s to almost 150,000 in 2018. Looks like Duvall was around 8,000 in 2018, so it's probably already about to top 10,000 in this year's census.

A medium-sized (for France) town of approximately 70,000, an entirely urban setting, but sufficiently large that it the chif commune for this region and as such has assigned to its purview several subcommunes, i.e., suburbs, basically villages comrising populations of 20,000 to as few as a couple of hundred souls. Definitions and arrangement of "community" in France is different than in the (most of) the states. Definitions among Louisiana's "parishes" might be similarly structured, but not fully per my recollection having resideed in LA for ~ six months in the late 1980s.
PS: That's "LA" = Louisiana, not that shitty mess of a (major) metropolitan area located in SoCal.

Hi neighbor.
Not sure what the correct term is. I'm in the least populated county in NJ in a town of 1200. I'm within easy driving distance of a small city with a very large suburb area and under an hour away from a major city. But here we have 2 lane roads and even just going to the grocery store is a 15-20 minute trip. Any real purchase is more like 45 minutes to stay in-state or about the same to leave the state.

Depends on if they're all your cousins or not.Does a town of 3200 count as a small city or country?

Just to the north of Pico Court is a well defined plot of land on which stands the Andrés Pico Adobe. San Fernando Mission is in the upper-right. Orange and Lemon Groves can be seen throughout the area. Photo courtesy of Paul Ayers

HOA community (not gated) in Palm Beach County (SE Florida) with metal roofs, palm trees, small lakes and about five miles to the Atlantic Ocean.
HOA does all landscaping and external maintenance.
Nice mix of young families with kids, single (working) people, retired people and about 15 percent are snowbirds (this is their second home).

5 miles from Texas A&M, literally surrounded by farms and cow pastures on all sides but a ten - fifteen minute drive to virtually any chain/franchise store you could dream of.
