The graph below reflects the net difference in the ratio since November 2014. The trend line suggests
that the ratio of move-ins is returning to parity with move-outs. In layman’s terms, when the trend line
is sloping upward, demand is increasing and conversely, a downward sloping line would indicate
weakening demand.
