The same thing is happening in SLC, Provo, Nashville, Phoenix, Austin, Vegas (markets for which there is data) and no doubt many other of flee from blue states to nice clean conservative affordable living. They dont have the white collar professional job base that many left behind. On paper it sounded great to WFH home but now they are looking around at their neighbors who arent like them or they live next to rentals on both sides. Those markets were all heavily investor markets unlike here which pushed their prices up much more than they would have with a higher concentration of homeowners. People are waking up and realizing these places dont have what they left behind. At least for now the Coastal markets around the country as faring better.
