According to the latest available Census Bureau data, 1,044,494 Californians left for other states while 737,433 people moved to Florida between July 2019 and July 2022. California experienced a net loss in migration, while Florida saw a net gain. The migration trend is being attributed to governing philosophy. Gavin Newsom's claim that more Floridians moved to California than vice versa has been challenged, with data showing a higher number of Californians moving to Florida in the last two years. The migration trend has become a topic of debate, with various sources presenting conflicting views on the direction of the migration flow between the two states.
Newsom: “The last two years, more Floridians went to California than Californians going to Florida. That will be fun to fact check.” 2022: Ca to FL: 50,701 FL to CA: 28,557 2021: CA to FL: 37,464 FL to CA: 24,692 https://t.co/idTwpBCSE0

.@GavinNewsom seems to think more Floridians moved to California in the last 2 years than vice versa. That's not what the San Francisco Chronicle @sfchronicle said earlier today: "The flow between California and Florida also favors the latter state." https://t.co/xCZZ77xBSa
The DeSantis vs Newsom debate starts looking at how citizens are voting with their feet with California being the biggest net loser and Florida being the biggest net winner in migration since 2020. Hard not to see governing philosophy as key to driving that trend.
