This graphic shows the 10 largest state-to-state migration flows in and out of California for the period 1955-1960 compared to that of 1995-2000. In the late 1950s, the largest flows involving California were all inflows to the state, generally from states in the Midwest or Northeast. This pattern contrasted with the flows in the late 1990s, where nearly all of the largest migration streams involving California represented out-migration to other states.
I’m okay with the Red jet stream....I am distressed about the Blue jet stream. Especially here in my state - Georgia.
Yeah, this Michigander is good with it.
We have become Mexico Del Norte. It is only a matter of time until the Mexican flag is raised over California’s public buildings.
The arrow coming from the south must be too big to fit on the map.
The leftist filth from the east that came here is now in control of all things government and social.
For a while I dealt directly with the California VP of a Fortune 500 company. They identified themselves as California-centric. However they were beginning to open plants in other states. Then them made a major expansion to either Tennessee or Kentucky (can’t recall.) They offered a move package to California employees with a big salary decrease to reflect local pay. They didn’t expect any takers. The company was stunned when most of the employees chose to relocate. He told me that because of California’s antibusiness stance the company was already allowing existing enterprises to run their lifespans and then would build new plants elsewhere. They would be entirely or of California in a decade or two.
Possibly but there's no way to reach that conclusion from the data presented here.
Check out the Blue Stream to Oregon and Washington. That’s why those two states became so liberal. I imagine that flow increased after 2000 to present.
That explains the whackadooing of the country. Can’t we practice containment or something?!
At least we know that cold temperatures are a deterrent.
The Red is what destroyed CA.
White liberals from back East that invaded beginning in the 50’s.
“The leftist filth from the east that came here is now in control of all things government and social.”
That’s exactly what happened.
Well they are more than returning the favor.
No, the red did not destroy California. You have a huge time gap in the data which encompasses the 60’s and 70’s. All those flyover state military personnel did California no harm.
I think many leaving are the more conservative who want something better.
Of course they did.
Exhibit A. Barbara Boxer.
I lived here my whole life, I know what happened.
They might THINK of themselves as conservative but from where I sit I see fruitcake liberaltarian loonies.
A majority who fled the east during that time period weren't liberal.
I think you need to consider the big fat obvious arrow from the south that is missing from that map.
Roger that. If these people are bringing their leftist philosophy with them, they should, Lemming like, just keep heading into the Atlantic for several hundred miles.
