There wasn't a mass exodus out of the area, but it is likely that at least a few people moved because they didn't agree with or were afraid of the trials. Especially with the border to New Hampshire so close and the small area affected by the trials. But moving in those days was more difficult than now, so it is difficult to be certain.
I'm not counting the people known to have fled because they were accused, because fleeing has a different connotation to moving, namely moving lacks the urgency of fleeing. But to include people who fled, yes, people did leave Salem because of the trials.
