SOUTHWARD BOUND!

Alabama rates high for inbound moves, United Vans Lines says…

People are moving into Alabama faster than they are moving out, at a rate that surpasses all other Southern states, a new study finds.  

St. Louis-based United Van Lines, a moving company, classified Alabama as a “high inbound” state in its annual tracking of interstate household moves in 2008, with 58.1 percent of moves going into the state.

Alabama was the only Southern state represented on the high inbound list last year. Nationwide, the Mid-Atlantic and Western regions are the most popular destinations for movers. The District of Columbia reigns as the top destination.

Meanwhile, there’s an overall outbound trend in the Great Lakes region. Michigan retained its title as the top outbound spot, with 67.1 percent of moves last year coming out of the state.
