Top reasons families move

Interesting statistics from American Moving and Storage Association on the reasons families move. These statistics were gathered in 2007. Wonder how these have switched around or changed in 2010??

Reasons for move (US Census Geographic Mobility for 2007)
Larger/better home - 30.50%
Establish own home - 16.90%
Closer to work/school - 13.40%
New job/transfer - 12.80%
Family related - 10.60%
Lower maintenance - 7.00%
Renter to owner - 6.60%
Financial/employment - 6.20%
Loss of spouse - 3.00%

Consumers Relocation Services' business pretty much has followed these groupings in the past.
