Movin’ on out
People are leaving California in droves, according to Census Bureau figures, but the
Golden
State still glitters for immigrants, illegal and otherwise. The Associated Press reports that
California continues to lead the nation in the rate of departures by existing residents.
New York is second.
California continues to grow, however, because of births and immigration. Census figures aren’t the only way to track arrivals and departures. For 40 years, Allied Van Lines has recorded the number of household shipments into and out of a state using an Allied affiliate. In 2007, Texas had the highest “net relocation gain” (inbound moves minus outbound moves), followed by North Carolina and
Georgia. According to this measure,
Michigan had the highest net location loss.
California had the highest outbound traffic, but inbound movements partially offset that.
Oklahoma was somewhere in the middle of the states, posting a slight net loss. A newer survey from Atlas Van Lines, though, says
Oklahoma had a net gain in moves for the first time in 15 years.
