i've tried to explain...it is mostly a migration of older less productive people

but california and other blue states do have some very bad policies...they could do even better if they reformed their permitting systems...there have been some hopeful recent developments but they need to do more

california has always been a net gainer of young college educated students except for a couple years in the aftermath of covid

and of course florida's post-covid bump is receding quite fast

I haven't seen any data that breaks it down by age and educational attainment for 2025. A few general points:

1) California has been seeing negative net migration to other states for over 20 years now.

2) Most of that negative net migration is older less well-educated people

3) It tends to attract younger college educated workers, with one notable dip in 2021

4) It attracts a lot of highly educated immigrants and many poorly educated immigrants. I think both groups tend to complement the skills of the population that is already there.

I'll post some graphs.

Problem is now they are losing more people than they are gaining. Gavin Newsom has overseen an actual decline in population. So badly they will be losing a handful of congressional seats.
