SEATTLE, Aug. 17, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- QuoteWizard®, a
LendingTree company, and one of the nation's leading online
insurance marketplaces released a report which states mobility
rates have been most affected by the coronavirus pandemic. With
one-third of Americans choosing to stay home during the COVID-19
pandemic, there's been a decline in America's mobility.
Mobility can be looked at as the rate at which people are
getting out of the house and traveling to work, retail and
recreation. Limited mobility is a likely cause of added mental
health strain for many in those states where mobility is limited.
The new reality of spending most of our time at home and not having
the luxuries of going out and being social can take a toll on our
mental health.

Key Findings:
- In June 2020, 36.5% of adults in
the United States experienced
symptoms of anxiety or depressive disorder, compared to 11% in the
same period in 2019.
- Millennials have seen nearly a 20% increase in anxiety from
April to July 2020.
- California, Hawaii and Arizona are considered to be the least mobile
states due to COVID-19-related restrictions.
- A 9% reduction in retail and recreation activities in the U.S.
means lower levels of mobility.
- About 33% of people are choosing to stay at home compared to
pre-coronavirus rates.
Methodology
QuoteWizard analyzed Google and CDC data that looked at mobility
factors during the COVID-19 pandemic. We built a composite ranking
of each state based on two key mobility factors: the rate of retail
and recreation and the rate of people staying at home. These
mobility factors are ranked to show which states are considered to
be least mobile by comparison. Each rate of retail and recreation
and people staying at home is based on historical norms. States
with negative rates of retail and recreation are considered to be
lower than normal. States with high rates of people staying at home
are considered to be higher than normal
