"Texas, Arizona, Nevada and Oregon apparently looked pretty good to a lot of Californians last year.

About 691,000 people left California to live in other states in 2018, new census estimates indicate. At the same time, roughly 501,000 people came to California from other states, creating a net loss of about 190,000 residents in 2018.

From 2015 to 2017, California saw a net loss of between 129,000 and 143,000 residents to domestic migration each year, according to census estimates. (The state’s population continues to grow — though relatively slowly — due to migration from abroad and births.)

California has lost more people to other states than it has gained for much of the last two decades, census figures show. The trend last peaked between 2004 and 2006, around the height of the housing boom."

LA Times quotes a Berkeley study that said that 40% of Republican voters are seriously considering leaving the state (14% of Dems). Older voters want to leave for political reasons, younger voters for housing costs.

According to this article, the blending number is closer to 50%.

California's population has increased 6% in the last 10 years, its net migration is no better or worse than most states, studies of people thinking about leaving are meaningless, a net loss of 100,000 in a state of 40 million is nothing
