A move is defined as having a different ZIP code in the next quarter. Notes: All figures reflect 4-quarter averages (ending with the indicated quarter) to smooth seasonal fluctuations. In every other region, entrances stood 1 to 17% lower than in Q1 2020.įigure: Percent change in entrances to California relative to Q1 2020, by economic region By Q3 2021, only the San Joaquin Valley had returned to its pre-pandemic quarterly rate of entrances – following 6 quarters of depressed entrances. All regions of California saw declines in out-of-state entrances since the pandemic began.

Since the pandemic began, the rate at which California has lost population due to domestic migration has doubled, through a combination of increased exits to other states and fewer entrances from other states. This policy brief uses the University of California Consumer Credit Panel (UC-CCP), a dataset containing residential locations for all Californians with credit history, to track domestic residential moves into and out of California at a quarterly frequency through the end of September 2021. The implications of population changes, such as federal representation and federal funding allocations, are significant. News reports, anecdotes, and preliminary research have speculated about whether there has been an exodus from California during the COVID-19 pandemic.
