The California exodus is the ongoing mass emigration of residents and businesses from California to other U.S. states or countries.[1][2] The term was used as early as 2016[3] and saw a resurgence during the COVID-19 pandemic.[4][5][6] Common reasons for residents leaving California include high cost of living, crime, politics and traffic,[7] as well as comparatively high tax levels and a complex regulatory environment for businesses.[8] Texas is the leading destination of California's former residents,[7] followed by Arizona.[9]
