California takes the gold medal for state more people left than anywhere else in 2023
More people fled California than any other state in 2023 as the great exodus from northern cities to southern states continue.

for a lower cost of living and safer streets, Golden State residents decided to try to strike for gold elsewhere, including Florida, the Republican-governed rival state of Democratic California, according to data gathered by storage and moving company PODS.
The California-Florida rivalry dates back to 2020, when Gov. Ron DeSantis blasted Gov. Gavin Newsom and northern cities for imposing COVID restrictions that prompted people to move to other states.

In a televised debate between the two governors on Nov. 30, DeSantis criticized Newsom for the movement of Californians out of state.

"You almost have to try to mess California up," DeSantis said. "They actually, at one point, ran out of U-Hauls in the state of California because so many people were leaving!"
In other parts of the country, residents relocated to Texas, Tennessee, and the Carolinas as they also abandoned homes in New York and New Jersey.
