More Californians Leaving For Other States
(excerpt)
Although immigrants kept California's population rising, more people left the state during the latter half of the 1990s than moved in from other states, the Census Bureau says. It was the first time that's ever happened.
Only New York, which lost 874,000 more residents to other states than it took in, had a bigger net decline than California, which lost 755,000. Illinois, New Jersey and Pennsylvania also lost more than they gained.
The figures count only gains and losses between states. California had a big gain when foreign immigrants were counted.
The longtime retirement destination of Florida had the biggest net increase of movers, with 607,000 more people coming in than leaving. Warm-weather states with fast-growing economies in the late 1990s rounded out the top five: Georgia, North Carolina, Arizona and Nevada.
Overall, California drew about 1.4 million residents from other states between 1995 and 2000 but lost 2.2 million of its residents.
