Where New Yorkers want to move to, according to Google search data

ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) -- Experts for the moving company Moving APT looked at which states New Yorkers want to move to by analyzing Google search data.

They reportedly used search terms such as "houses in," "Zillow," "apartments in," "living in," "move to," "live in" and "relocate to" and looked at the combined searches for each state name to find which were at the top.

"Often when looking to move to another area, most people’s first course of action is to consult Google for information on houses available, local schools, job opportunities, and leisure activities in the area," said a Moving Apt spokesperson.
