California's outmigration woes: No. 1 gap, No. 1 improvement
Briefly

California recorded the greatest number of departures in the nation, losing 690,127 residents in 2023, while 422,075 new arrivals somewhat softened the exodus.
Despite the net outflow, California experienced a significant demographic improvement, as the gap between departures and arrivals shrank by 73,814 compared to 2022.
Critics often misinterpret California's outmigration trends, overlooking the fact that net migration is a combination of both arrivals and departures.
In a broader context, Florida saw the greatest decline in net inflows, experiencing a 123,056 drop in new arrivals, marking a significant demographic shift.
