Leaving California: These were the top destinations for Californians who moved in 2022

The California exodus continues, new Census data released Thursday shows. In 2022, more than 817,000 people left the Golden State for somewhere else in the U.S. 

About 475,000 people decided to move to California last year, meaning California suffered a net loss of around 342,000 to other U.S. states.

There was a stretch here where I'd see California plates every so often, maybe once a month, but no more. Now it's states from up north.
My new favorite thing to do when I go into town is circling the town square and see how many out of state license plates I see while the owners of the vehicles are getting their new Tennessee plates at the county clerk's office. It seems like it's at least one a week and the vehicles are mostly from New York and Illinois.
