MyTown, the Philippines’ largest co-living company, conducts a second survey among its thousands of tenants in April 2021 on how the pandemic and resulting community quarantines impacted young professionals, particularly on the importance of community and connection. According to the survey results, 71 percent of tenants believe that living in MyTown has made them less lonely over the last year, up from 64 percent in 2019 before the pandemic broke out. Over 90 percent see MyTown as a ‘home away from home,’ compared to 80 percent in 2019. Seven out of 10 tenants believe that MyTown cultivates an environment where they can make new friends and connections despite the lockdowns.
