From an article-
The exodus from California also led among other states. Only the numbers for Texas, Florida, and New York came close.
Texas lost 462,000; New York lost 458,000; and Florida lost 470,000.
According to the Census data, most Californians found themselves heading to Texas, Arizona, Washington, Nevada, and Oregon.
Texas - 86,000
Arizona - 68,000
Washington - 55,000
Nevada - 50,000
Oregon - 43,000
Idaho was not far behind its Pacific Northwest neighbors, with an estimated 21,000.
While California led in people leaving the state in 2018, it came in third for the number of people who moved in. The state was behind Florida, who had 587,000, and Texas, who saw 563,000 move in
