From 2008 to 2012
495 people moved from Fulton County, GA to New York County, NY
323 people moved from New York County, NY to Fulton County,GA

NYC is also an entry point for immigrants so a lot of those migrants from the other parts of NY metro area really aren't even NYers. They're just people who passed through. Atlanta has never been a destination for Italian-American New Yorkers.
Yes it has. Check your figures, and get a clue...those numbers are ridiculous, and do NOT reflect reality. I don't care where they came from.

Where do you come up with this crap?

And your sad agenda is showing again...

Well time for a reality check.

Did you really believe well-off people in New York would even entertain the thought of living in Atlanta? You truly imagined people who lived in wonderful places like Manhattan would be moving to Atlanta? Why would they do that lol.

My source is the Census. Take it up with them.




I can see how it could surprise you that more people move to an island in which the median price for a home is $1.3 million (vs $240k in Atlanta), the median rent is $4,000 (vs $980) in Atlanta, but do you really blame them? One is Manhattan and one is Atlanta. People who live in Manhattan generally would never severely downgrade their lives and live somewhere like Atlanta. It's a place known for good/high taste, after all.

There is a huge population of Italians in Birmingham, AL. The also have a Italian American Society there as well. Growing up there, Birmingham was known as little Italy.

You should have excluded Florida in your opening post, since that is clearly the answer. Historically, New Orleans had a very significant Italian population. Present day though, not sure which Southern state/ city outside of FL holds the title.

Interestingly, I think I saw the stat that Baltimore actually has less Italians than DC (which I didn't know- although it may have been by %). I don't know how it compares to other deeper southern cities, but I have heard that ATL, Dallas, and Houston Italians are growing. My guess is that the Italian population in Baltimore is stagnant or declining. Little Italy in Baltimore is nice though; one of my favorite sections of the city.

It's probably because Georgia isnt a top destination for New Yorkers at all when leaving, based on this cool study/infographic and other info posters have shared on other threads lately, discussing where Northeasterners move (because many claim the NE has seen its best days in terms of population). Most NY residents actually move to other Northeastern states like NJ and PA. I believe those states are one and two or commonly are one and two. Many also move to CA and FL. GA sees a minute number compared to these other states.

Which state are New Yorkers most likely to move to?

Your info is interesting but only goes for NY County (Manhattan). There are 4 more counties in the city and then you could also factor in LI and Westchester among other "upstate" metro counties. Still though, I wouldn't have expected to see more people from Fulton County moving INTO NY County than the opposite.

Wow, this post is dripping with elitism...and by someone from Dallas no less.

You found one statistic to prove your claim, but it's a minor difference. Within context, that was during the middle of the recession so there were bound to be a bit a loss given that NYC wasn't as affected as Atlanta was. However, the biggest feeder counties from NYC to Atlanta are Queens and Kings counties (always has been) and they're destination is typically to Gwinnett, Dekalb or Clayton counties. But I'm sure you're aware of that.

While we're talking about elitism, I got this message in a rep point:

Haha! If you can see Virginia from DC, you're in the South. Thanks for the rep points though.
