Is everyone moving to Rome, Georgia? 

  • Rome ranks #1 in the state for attracting the highest proportions of new moves in. 
  • The 2022 data shows that for every 274 moves into Rome there are only 100 out. 

Rome is one among several modestly sized Georgia cities that are attracting high proportions of moves in 2022. Home to Berry College and nestled among the Appalachian mountains, Rome is an idyllic town with a diversified economy that keeps the small city thriving and drawing in new residents. 

Additional Georgia findings: 

  • Other popular cities to move to include #2 McRae-Helena (242 to 100, and most affordable of the top cities to move to), #3 Gainesville (190 to 100), #4 Saint Marys (187 to 100), and #5 Douglasville (183 to 100).
  • Exit cities: Meanwhile, Atlanta suburbs Tucker (50 to 100) and Lilburn (52 to 100) are seeing the highest ratios of outflow — both areas are seeing about twice as many moves out as in.
