CALIFORNIA -- In recent years, more people have left California than moved in. A state report found that 5 million people moved to California from other states, while 6 million left California for other states from 2007 to 2016, according to a report by the state's Legislative Analyst's Office.
The office found that the lost of about 2.5 percent of the state's total population are "low in historical terms."
"The graph above shows data from the Internal Revenue Service on the movement of income tax filers in and out of California since 1990. (Data on tax filers does not cover the entire population because some people do not earn enough income to necessitate filing taxes.) As the graph shows, net out-migration from 1990 to 2006 was, on average, more than double what is was in the most recent ten years," the report said.
The report said residents from New York, Illinois, and New Jersey moved to California. But, those who left the Golden State went to Texas, Arizona, Nevada, and Oregon.
The LAO found "Although California has had net out-migration among most demographic groups, it has gained among those with higher incomes ($110,000 per year or more) and higher levels of education (graduate degrees)."
