The significant drop in Californians leaving for other states in 2023 points to a cooling of the migration trend, primarily due to a return to pre-pandemic life.
California still topped the out-of-state movement chart in 2023 with 690,127 residents relocating, despite a notable decline of 127,542 compared to 2022 and a national trend of declining relocations.
The decline in California's outflows appears to reflect a broader trend of decreased interstate relocations nationally, with California's rate falling 16%, which is notably higher than the national average.
Despite the exodus slowdown, California continues to grapple with significant affordability challenges, even as rising costs in popular moving destinations may have tempered previous migration rates.
