About 60,000 more people moved from California to Texas than the other way in 2022. Experts point to housing, taxes and politics.

Jayne Jordan, 61, was a lifelong Californian until August, when she sold her home in Corona and moved to Azle, Texas. Jordan wanted to stay close to her daughter and grandchildren, who are planning to move from Irvine to the Lone Star State next year in order to buy a home. When she joined a Facebook group of California migrants to Texas, she found a community willing to help her choose the right moving company and weigh in on which route to take for the 1,360-mile drive.

Texas is seeing rising home values that are making some area less affordable, and cities are also grappling with other social issues Californians are familiar with. 'We have been challenged by what to do with a growing unhoused population' as low-income people are displaced by the cascading effects of a housing crisis, she said. Though Texas has added lots of housing, 'we're building more on the high end and not affordable housing,' Dickerson said.
