Despite claims of a “mass exodus” from California in the past year, a new study released Thursday from a nonpartisan think tank found that 2020 exits from the most highly-populated American state largely mirrored historical patterns. California Policy Lab, which partners with governments in the state to provide data on key issues, said in a press release announcing the report’s findings that most of the moves by California residents in 2020 happened within the state. The group found that the most significant change recorded was a drop in the number of people moving into California.
