For this week’s "By the Numbers," we examine regions with the highest percentage of movers (from last year) who spent the previous year abroad. 
Pulling the data from the U.S. American Community Survey, 2005, we rank the top 10 metros for each metro classification: large, medium, mid-size, and small.
