Good moves
Connecticut ducked the dubious distinction of its tristate neighbor states, becoming a “magnet state” in 2011 with more people moving in than leaving.
That is how Atlas Van Lines and SIRVA Inc. calculated it, anyway, tracking about 6 percent more families moving into Connecticut through November last year against those leaving.
New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania all ranked among the top “outbound states” that saw more families leave than arrive. Vermont led all Northeast states with nearly 80 percent more people moving there than leaving in 2011.
