In early 2026, Texas, Florida, and North Carolina are leading the U.S. in attracting the most new residents, driven by corporate relocations, no state income tax, and lower cost of living. South Carolina is experiencing the fastest population growth percentage, alongside strong inflows to Idaho and Tennessee. ...[text shortened]... absolute numbers with over 390,000 new residents, largely due to tech jobs and no state income tax.
Not a source, not properly referenced, and AI cannot be trusted. It makes stuff up and tries to obey the questioner at the expense of truth. If the question is flawed the answer will be flawed.
Fail.
@mike69 saidUmm, mister "up to date", the laws about education are new. You weren't bound by them when you were teaching.
I said try up to date information. I also asked, on the post you threw your two cents in on, with increased cost of living who is making more and better run.
You clearly have no idea about Texas schools, I worked for 15 years in one. Your other comment is stupid we clearly live and get along fine with the Mexican people we have a lot of them. Go grip at them on their stolen land😁

California's population in 2026 is experiencing a plateau or slight decline, holding around 39.35 million, as high domestic outbound migration to states like Texas and Arizona continues. While international immigration slowed, it has not fully offset the departure of residents driven by high housing costs and remote work, with significant population losses in LA County.

Key 2026 Population Trends
Population Stability: Despite earlier declines, California's population has shown periods of stability or very slow growth, with estimates placing the population around 39.355 million.
Domestic Exodus: California continues to see residents moving to other states, with nearly 10 million people leaving for other parts of the U.S. from 2010 through 2024, a trend extending into 2026.
Key Drivers of Leaving: High cost of living, housing costs, and remote work flexibility are primary drivers for moving, with top destinations including Texas, Arizona, Nevada, Florida, and Tennessee.
Demographic Changes: Los Angeles County has experienced notable population losses, while areas like Riverside County have seen increases, indicating shifting population centers within the state.
International Migration: Net international migration is showing a downward trend, projected to fall to roughly 321,000 by July 2026, which further tightens the overall population growth.
Rising Costs: Despite the exodus, demand in specific cities like San Diego, San Francisco, and San Jose remains high, supported by specialized sectors.
Demographic Shifts: California remains a minority-majority state, with Hispanics comprising the largest single ethnic group.

@AThousandYoung saidThen you clearly aren’t looking. What hasn’t been cleared up from my questions to you? You haven’t answered
You're not doing a very good job of it. You haven't shown me any evidence or coherent arguments.
@AThousandYoung saidWhy can’t you answer the million dollar question I asked to settle it? What don’t you understand!

@mike69 saidI can answer any questions you have but I will not be passive-aggressively interrogated by someone with a chip on his shoulder but no willingness to engage in respectful discussion in good faith.
Why can’t you answer the million dollar question I asked to settle it? What don’t you understand!
For someone so sensitive to me making fun of you, you are quite disrespectful and aggressive in how respond to me.
@AThousandYoung saidNo you’re being a cry baby loser playing the woke victim card thinking it wins the topic rather than running!!!

I just asked you what isn’t understood, I looked up information for you, do you want flowers and a hug?

@wildgrass saidThis will help you meander through 'the world today'.
Yeah I get that there are other considerations, but Joe wanted things as simple as possible so that's what he got.
In terms of cost of living, good point. The math works out a lot different for the wealthy compared to the middle class. For the wealthy, taxes are a huge component of the calculation, so moving their primary residence to Florida makes sense. But for the mid ...[text shortened]...
p.s. Texas is second because of population. If you correct for per capita GDP, they're like 15th.
The top .1% of taxpayers in CA pay 17% of the taxes. Now many of the .1% have left the state in expectation of the wealth tax. It is likely if the tax is passed that revenue from income taxes will decline as the payers will have left. It happens every time but the radical left NEVER LEARN ANUTHING. Pitiful.. NY is contemplating raising taxes as well even if you reside in NYC you already pay the highest taxes in the nation. Thousands have left NYC due to the income tax before this new tax passes, but that seems not to have occurred to Mamdani and his followers. There is a reason countries in Europe that tried a wealth tax all rescinded it. Hochul has now begun PUBLICLY BEGGING high earners to move back to NY to help cover budget shortfalls as it has become apparent to her that the high taxes of NY chased away the real taxpayers. "Sure Kathy, they are going to move right back to pay more taxes"". Mamdani’s answer to this problem-raise taxes on the big taxpayers even higher. The definition of an idiot.
Read this three times, and then respond as usual. Try writing about epstein. All of you are such a joy, like listening to a Sara Brightman CD.
@wildgrass saidOK, i'll banter. YOU want to know why they are leaving the states??? Am I correct,,,,what else could you be saying in your sarcastic cryptic posts?? The post above says it all, you are welcome.
It's raining out and you want to know what the sky did to make the water mad.
As to your analogy, if I am out in the yard witih my brand new Purdey shotgun, and it statrts raining, I do NOT want a drop of water on the gun. As I run to protect it, do you think i question where/why it is raining?
Lord, your lst sentence just gelled in my brain...Did you, a grown man, just say the phrase 'make the water mad'. I'll ask Donald to help me respond on that one.
