Californians are still flooding into Texas, according to an analysis from a web site. A study from StorageCafe presents its latest figures from 2021, which show nearly 111,000 people moved to Texas from California that year. That's just over 300 a day. The main factors drawing Californians to Texas are job options and affordability.
StorageCafe says, "The reasons behind a California to Texas move are undoubtedly varied but affordability and job options are major incentives that support the decision to swap one state for another. Among the things that help lure people to Texas are the no-income tax policy, the lower cost of living and the robust employment opportunities significantly bolstered by the tech and energy sectors. The remote work trend is further fueling the movement ."
The only other interstate migration with comparable numbers was the flight of 93,000 New Yorkers to Florida.
