Housing is a huge part of inflation - 33% as a national average. Below are the housing price increases by state in 2021. You can see the Mountain West has huge increases and people that could suddenly work from home moved out of expensive cities with gridlock traffic to more affordable areas. And even with 30% price increases Arizona is much cheaper than California. (Even Portland is cheap to people coming from San Diego, LA, and San Francisco.)
