California | Total Moves: 15,836

Percentage Moving Out: 59%

Total Population: 39,237,836

California ranked the highest when it came to population decrease due to people moving out of the state. The causes behind this seem to be the rising cost of living and increasing taxes. Another reason pointed out in a 2022 article by Forbes was the threat of wildfires.

However, the bustling state of California is blessed with an excellent climate and a robust tech industry. Besides that, it also features the renowned film industry, namely Hollywood. In February 2022, the Super Bowl LVI was held in Inglewood in California, with performers such as Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige, and Kendrick Lamar.
