Arizona No. 5 for relocations in 2010

Arizona was the No. 5 state in net relocation gains made in 2010, according to the Allied Van Lines’ 43rd Annual Magnet States Report released Monday. Arizona netted 370 moves between January and November, which is calculated by taking the number of inbound moves and subtracting outbound moves performed by Allied Van Lines. There were a total of 4,128 shipments made in Arizona. Texas topped the list for the sixth year in a row with 1,640 net relocation gains. Colorado was the closest competitor with net relocation gains of just over 400, while Florida, South Carolina and Arizona rounded out the top five states. States with more outbound shipments than inbound included Michigan, Illinois, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York — several states that were hit particularly hard by the recession.
