Our friends at NorthStar Moving have put together these two infographics that show the top cities in the country that people are moving to and from. The graphics are based on data from the American Moving & Storage Association, which tracks inbound  and outbound shipments across the USA.

The rankings reflect the total number shipments, not movers as a percentage of the city’s population. They overlap quite a bit. Strangely enough, the same place tops both lists. Why do you think that is? Let us know in the comments.

When you hear the term “green moving,” it might invoke images of packing your things in grass and bamboo baskets, or perhaps a VW van with a psychedelic paint job comes to mind?  Today, green moving means being conscientious of the environment and using methods that are not harmful to the earth.
