The California Death Spiral, continued

Fox News reports new data from California looking at those moving to and from the Golden State. Much has been written about those moving away, this California Policy Lab study emphasizes the drop in those moving to CA.

The study found a 38% decrease in people moving to California at the end of September 2021 compared to the end of March 2020. The study found a 12% increase in residents moving out of state.

The biggest changes were in the San Francisco Bay Area. There was a 45% decrease in entrances from other states to the Bay Area and a 12% increase in residents leaving for other states.

Sacramento County, home to the state’s capital, saw a 33% decrease of people moving in and a 13% increase in people leaving for other states.

California’s total population fell by more than 182,000 in 2020, according to a report by the California Department of Finance released in May.

As a result, it has lost a seat in the House of Representatives, effective with the 2022 midterm election. 

Bad government has demographic consequences. CA is badly governed by a Democrat near-monoculture.
