ConsumerAffairs survey illuminates a significant demographic shift poised to reshape the American landscape: the migration patterns of individuals leaving California in droves while states like North and South Carolina, Florida, and Tennessee experience a surge in newcomers.
The survey, conducted between January 2023 and March 2024 and analyzing data from 143,506 users, underscores the persistent allure of states offering a lower cost of living compared to the exorbitant expenses associated with residing in California.
The Golden State, long revered for its cultural influence and economic prowess, is witnessing a net migration loss of 10,453 individuals. Over 17,824 people expressed a desire to leave California, while just over 7,000 considered relocating there, underscoring a stark contrast in migration trends.
Michael Basch, a venture capitalist who has traveled to New York and California, succinctly encapsulates the sentiment driving this demographic upheaval: “I think if you want to start a family if you want quality of life, if you want a nice community, or if you want to make a difference, those are all things I think we [Oklahoma] win over those markets.”
New York, another bastion of progressive politics and urban sophistication, mirrors California’s plight, ranking low in net migration. This trend extends beyond the confines of the West Coast, with blue states such as Hawaii, Illinois, Oregon, and Pennsylvania experiencing population declines as residents seek refuge in states offering greater affordability and opportunity.
Conversely, red and purple states like North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Tennessee, and Texas emerge as beacons of desirability, topping the list for net population growth. Data from the U.S. Census Bureau reinforce this, highlighting the robust population expansion witnessed in red states, with Texas leading the charge.
