While California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office says the state has seen a “surge” in people moving to the state, data from the same source shows California has the highest net out-migration of any state in the nation.
Newsom’s office recently sent The Center Square an email regarding the publication’s “close, detailed coverage of California’s population movements,” encouraging reporters to examine a Newsweek piece titled, “California Sees Surge in People Moving to the State,” noting the National Association of Realtors said California was among the most popular states for Americans to move to in 2024.
California has the largest economy and population of any state in the country, which means coming in second to Texas — which has an economy two-thirds the size and population three-quarters the size of California’s — suggests the state is underperforming.
Another NAR report from October found that California had the highest net out-migration of jobs — 18,485 — in the third quarter of 2023, and had 29% net out-migration per capita than Illinois, which had the second-most.

Assuming a similar rate of improvement in population loss, California would be on track to lose a net of 210,000 residents this year — an improvement, but still a major loss, as those moving in tend to be poorer than those moving out according to IRS migration data.

Illegals are flocking there.
Gavin you smell like Cabbage
The Newsome doctrine is that the state of California is of, by and for illegal aliens—and everybody else is supposed to pay the freight.
It could be #1 in both entries 8and* exits. Are they #1 in *net* exits?
Moderate climate, orange groves, the most magnificent flowers, eucalyptus trees and a stunning ocean is a powerful anchor even with the illegal hoards. Brother’s been there since 1958 and you couldn’t get him out with a crow bar. He just moved further inland. Lost his marina, gained a suitcase by the door for fleeing from fires, but at least he’s not in an area where he has to step carefully around indiscretions. As with most states, the rational avoid the Democratic cities.
He smells more like what one finds on sidewalks all over San Francisco.
Yup. calitopia.
The left literally wants to rule over the rubble.
They are flocking there from Mexico.
Wait till Trump cuts off the Federal funds.
That does seem to be the case... Fifth generation Californian here, but ready to get out myself. Paying 10% of my income (and thats just the Income Tax) to a bunch of so-called ‘Progressives’ in Sacramento who hate me and mock my beliefs is getting old.
Democrats penchant for half truths/lies is so normal that I can’t tell if they’re talking out of their mouths or ass or both at the same time.
You beat me to it.
Taxpayers are fleeing while tax leeches are swarming into the state.
I live in CA. “people are flocking to CA.” LOL, LOL, LOL……….still laughing, people can not get the hell out of here fast enough!! I lived on the coast things got so bad with crime, homelessness, city no being taken care of and cleaned up, HORRIBLE traffic and roads, I sold my home and moved to the desert in a guarded, gated community where it is TO HOT to pitch a tent and live on the street!! CA. has become a JOKE I don’t see ANY change possible now that EVERY stinking person is mailed a ballot, election fraud is rampant and ONE PARTY Marxist rule will be here forever same as OR. WA. CO.!! If I wasn’t 72 years old and alone I would have moved to a different state entirely!! NewSCUM is the absolute WORST governor EVER!!
Excellent. Give them a year to gather, then nuke the state from orbit.
Be like the zombies in the stadium in WWZ.
“Illegals are flocking there.”
Yep and those on welfare. Ca is trading the productive the government cannot control for the unproductive that government can control and own.
They are creating a Communist state where the government owns all the people and all the assets. They are creating another China.
It is unsustainable and we are all paying for it with federal tax dollars. The people should have a decision in how Ca uses and wastes our federal tax dollars.
Sorry to hear that. Am very familiar with CA in general and the current circumstances. I think what keeps some people there is the weather and the natural beauty. No other state has that type of weather. That said, it is very sad to see what has happened to such a beautiful place. Glad you got away from the coast. Inland is less expensive than the coast along with being saner. I despise Newsom.
Only illegals and he makes it sound like Citizens.
Newscum may have something there. The election results just might cause fellow scum from other states to move to Commiefornia. Add those to the illegals coming in, and the inflow might be greater than those fleeing.
