The U.S. Census Bureau looked at how many people moved to each state from other states compared to the total number of people who made the move in that state. The state with the lowest "move-in" ratio turned out to be California. According to SFGate, "For the period from 2021 to 2022, the lowest entry rate in California was 11.1%..." Compared to Neighboring Oregon, which had an entry rate of 21%.

The Census Bureau warns, however, that California - America's most populous state - "also had a relatively large base of movers overall" - more than four million - which could''explain its low ratio in several statistics. SFGate reports that both California's out-migration rate - defined as "the number of people moving out of the state as a percentage of the total number of people moving in" - was below the national average migration rate.

The state of Texas had the lowest out-migration rate, 11.7 percent, according to the Census Bureau's analysis. California and Texas are the two most populous states in America.

Interestingly, most people moving to California come from... Texas (44,279). At the same time, 102,422 people''moved from California to Texas, and another 74,157 people moved from California to Arizona. New York State also lost 91,201 people to Florida and another 75,103 to New Jersey.
