Sorry if the facts don’t help the “people are fleeing CA because of the radical left” narrative … but them’s the facts. The facts also remain that there are still too many damn people on CA roads, not enough housing, and not enough water. So stay away, and if you don’t like it, just leave…

As a contrast, here is the population increase in Texas:

2010 25,145,561
2020 29,145,505
A 15.9% increase.

The use of single year estimate data set, 2021, can be fraught with inaccuracies.

From 2010 to 2020 Census, only 3 states lost population. Delaware, Illinois, and South Carolina. That is a far cry from 1/3 in the headline.

Several states did not keep up with the average increases, so lost Congressional seats. That included California.
