Insights
1Accelerating Exodus from California
California experienced a net loss of 216,000 residents last year, an increase from 140,000 the prior year. This trend is described as "getting worse," with residents migrating out at a faster rate than ever before.
Carl Deayo, chairman of Reform California, states these figures from Newsom's office.
2U-Haul Data Confirms Blue-to-Red Migration
U-Haul's 2025 growth index shows Texas and Florida leading the list of states Americans are moving to, with the top five growth states being Republican-led and in the South. Conversely, California leads the nation in outbound moves, alongside other blue states like Illinois, New Jersey, New York, and Massachusetts.

3High Costs Drive California Exodus
Affordability is cited as the primary reason people are leaving California. The cost of a Thanksgiving meal in California is 27% higher than the national average, attributed to high transportation costs, fuel prices (among the highest in the country), and regulatory burdens that make it more expensive to grow food.

4International Migration Masks Domestic Exodus
While California's overall population saw a slight growth of 0.05% in the last fiscal year, this is attributed to international immigration and natural increases (births), not domestic migration. The host asserts that actual American citizens are leaving California in "droves."

5California's Poor State Ranking Despite Advantages
Despite having significant structural advantages like a diversified economy, global trade, venture capital, universities, startup culture, human capital, agriculture, tourism, climate, geography, and natural resources, California ranks 37th overall among states. The host argues this poor ranking is solely due to Democratic policies.
