Why so many cars go from New York to Georgia
About 17,385 people moved from New York to Georgia in each of the last two years, according to the Census Bureau's American Community Survey (21,998 in 2023, 12,771 in 2024). That is 3.9% of everyone who left New York for another state.
Only about 8,132 people a year go back from Georgia to New York, so demand here is mostly one-way. With trucks toward Georgia in steady demand, expect quick pickups and little room to haggle.
