From One County to Another, Atlanta's Moving Patterns

Thinking of moving? If you are like most metro Atlantans, your next move will not be far from your current home.
In the metro region, more than half of the people who relocated moved into one county from another in the region, according to an Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC) analysis of address data from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
In all cases, the most popular “origin” county (where moved from) was adjacent to the “destination” county (where moved to). This demonstrates that the majority of moves are to nearby locales. Don’t know where your new neighbor came from? More than likely, they came to DeKalb County from a neighboring county. The data shows that 13,308 people moved to DeKalb County from Clayton County; 17,511 people moved from Cobb County; 81,690 people moved from Fulton County; and 36,365 people moved from Gwinnett County.
While 36 percent of those moving into the metro region came from a different state, only 30 percent of those moving out of the Atlanta region went to a different state. This drives home the fact that the Atlanta region is a major draw to people nation-wide, especially from the northeast.
