For the first time, the Census Bureau finds that more people have moved to other states from here than the other way around.
More than 1.4 million people in the U.S. migrated to California from 1995 to 2000, while 2.2 million left — the highest migration numbers in the country. That exodus is "unprecedented," said Hans P. Johnson, a demographer with the Public Policy Institute of California, an independent San Francisco research organization.
It was the first time since 1940, when the government started keeping statistics on domestic migration, that the state had lost more residents to other states than it gained, the Census Bureau said, although the overall population increased from 32.7 million in 1998 to an estimated 35.1 million in 2002.
In the mid-1990s, demographers had anticipated that the exodus of Californians in the early 1990s — due in large part to recession, riots and natural disasters — would slow, or even halt. But that was not the case, according to these new statistics, the most definitive available.
The largest numbers of people who left California moved to Nevada, Arizona and Texas — about 200,000 to each state. Nevada and Arizona are the two fastest-growing states in the nation, the report said, followed by Georgia, North Carolina and Florida. Large numbers of people also left California for Washington and Oregon.
"Other Western states ... are becoming the California of the past, attracting domestic migrants, many of them from California," Johnson said. "The big picture is that California, by anyone's measure, is not attracting the numbers of domestic migrants that [it] used to attract. This is a dramatic change from a demographic perspective." . . . .
