The flow of Californians leaving for other states declined last year by the largest amount in the nation, with 127,542 fewer departures recorded compared to 2022.
The significant outflux of Californians seems like a return to relative normalcy, as the decline aligns closely with the yearly average of 658,700 since 2004.
California still saw the most residents moving to other states, with 690,127 departures in 2023, while overall interstate relocations in the US decreased by 8%.
The previous rush to other states has boosted their cost-of-living, making California's affordability challenges seem slightly less daunting, which likely contributed to the decline in departures.
