For the sixth year in a row, Atlanta topped the list of the country’s top 10 moving destinations on Reading, Pa.-based Penske Truck Leasing Co.’s annual compilation.
The company created its list based on requests for one-way moves in 2015.
Penske noted its list supports new census data from January 2016 that shows the trend of movers heading to the Sun Belt region for the first time since the housing bubble burst and recession, highlighting that the majority of movement to warmer climates of the South is back to a pre-recession pace.
