Citation Type: Miscellaneous

Publication Year: 2023

Abstract: The exodus of people from California to Texas is picking up steam. In 2021, it was the most popular interstate move in the country, with 111,000 people – or 300 people a day – headed to the Lone Star from the Golden State, a whopping 80% increase compared to 2012, according to an analysis of U.S. census and IPUMS data by StorageCafé. During the pandemic, as remote work became a reality for many, the trend of people moving from high-cost cities to more affordable areas started taking root. The number of people leaving California for Texas has grown by 36% between 2016 and 2021 while the migration stream from all other states to Texas did not change, rising a mere 0.1%, according to data from the American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates.
