STILL GOT IT

Two Florida cities remain in the top 10 of Relocation.com’s list of desirable cities. Relocation.com analyzed cities’ popularity to people wishing to relocate, and bases it on the number of requests it gets for information. On a per-capita basis for cities with more than 1 million people, Las Vegas retained the top spot as the No. 1 destination for people looking to make a long distance state-to-state move in 2008, followed by Denver; Charlotte, N.C.; Phoenix/Mesa, Ariz.; Portland, Ore., Seattle; Orlando; Washington, D.C.; Atlanta; and Tampa Bay/St. Petersburg. On the bottom end, the company says that for every 100 people looking to move to Michigan, 210 wanted to move out. In Ohio, 150 people wanted to move out for every 100 who wanted to move in. Only California saw a year-to-year change in direction, with more people now hoping to move out than move in.
