This chart of U-Haul prices in/out of San Jose (in one form or another) made the news recently. http://www.aei.org/publication/san-francisco-bay-area-experi...

Texas and Oregon are starting to look pretty nice. Too bad about the cannabis laws in Texas, though. As soon as I persuade the court to terminate my probation I'll consider selling a few properties and getting out of here, too.

Oregon sucks. Don't move here, I mean there. But, Texas is very nice.

>Families with kids and those with only a high school education predominate among those moving from California to its top destination states (Texas, Arizona, and Nevada). College-educated 18 to 35 year olds led the way among those moving to California from its top feeder states (New York, Illinois, and New Jersey).

Texan here. We welcome y'all with open arms, just please don't turn Texas into the places that you left.

Can confirm. Oregon is terrible, and I've heard it's entirely full now anyway.

A cursory read of the graphics indicates that people with graduate degrees and higher-paying jobs are forcing the people with less money and less education out, and they are moving to states with lower costs of living.

Democratic states moving into California and Californians mostly leaving for conservative states. Interesting.

There are multiple ways to interpret though.

Interesting data, but:

"The graph below shows data from the Internal Revenue Service on the movement of income tax filers in and out of California since 1990. (Data on tax filers does not cover the entire population because some people do not earn enough income to necessitate filing taxes.)"

It also doesn't cover populations who don't pay taxes, and who get paid under the table.
