California exodus

The California exodus refers to the negative rates of internal migration that California has experienced in most of the years since 1991. [1] [2]

This change has that the paradoxical effect of making California both more foreign-born and more insular, with a higher proportion of Californians born in-state today than any time in recent history [2]


Causes

One cause of California's population shrinkage in the 1990s-2010s has been the decline of aerospace jobs [3] as well as a decline in high tech jobs more recently. [4] Another cause is unaffordable housing.

Permanent drought as a result of global warming may make it so that the exodus accelerates. [5]
