I'm not a fan of all these lists but I figured I would go ahead and post this since it will find its way here anyway. One of these days I would love to understand exactly how these lists are generatated and just how many different categories for new lists they can come up with. It sounds like the Mayor of Apex is very happy with this attention.

One interesting fact included in this news story:

"Of Apex's population of 33,601, 65 percent of residents weren't born in Wake County and 36 percent moved in the past five years."

Here is the list - Forbes

Quote:
To locate America's best places to move, we looked at "Relovilles" with populations of 25,000 and over. Using data from 2000 to 2007 Census records, we looked for the number of people in each town who were born out of state or abroad, who had moved to town from a considerable distance within one and five years, and who had moved for a job. These were weighted more heavily than other factors considered, such as Census data for population growth, family incomes, people in executive and professional jobs, and the price, size and age of homes, along with reports of moving van companies, changes in school enrollments, the proximity of multinational companies, and the observations of local builders, government officials and residents. Places with populations of less than 25,000, with large numbers of low-wage immigrant workers and with rotating populations of college students, retirees and inmates of prisons were ruled out.

*Note that figures for race do not total 100 because of rounding, Hispanics of different races and exclusion of native Hawaiians, American Indians and other races.
