Notes

California has for long been the primary geographic focus of westward migration across the United States. In recent decades, while California has continued to attract the greatest number of interstate migrants, the state has also emerged as the country's leading redistributor of population. From 1985 to 1990, nearly 2 million interstate migrants moved to California, and during the same period over 1.8 million interstate migrants left California for other states. For the third consecutive decade, California not only attracted the greatest number of interstate migrants, it was also the most common state of origin for United States internal migration. In the process of California's interstate population exchange, clear geographic patterns have developed: Californja has gained population from the Northeastern and Midwestern states of the traditional industrial core, and lost popu1ation to the states of the peripheral West, most notably to Washington and Oregon. This study traces the development of California's present role as a population redistributor, and describes the geographic patterns of this interstate population exchange.
