Notes
  • As the most populous state in the nation, California is not just a major national and international destination for migrants and a key source of migrants who head to other United States regions. It also has a very dynamic level of internal migration. As such, the population of California is very fluid and its people readily relocate themselves and their financial resources as socioeconomic situations warrant. Internal Revenue Service county level migration data and U.S. Census data were used to analyze the relationship of migration to income change in California for the years 1995 to 2001. The analysis revealed that during the study period certain parts of the state had much greater relative gains in income due to migration. Most of the central Sierra Nevada counties around Lake Tahoe/Yosemite and a select group of metropolitan counties witnessed solid income growth from migration while the Central Valley, the Imperial Valley, and the Los Angeles area had negative net income changes from migration. Although Los Angeles County is the state’s economic lynchpin, the flight of higher-income residents from Los Angeles gave it the distinction of having the greatest monetary loss due to migration of any California county. As migration continues to affect the socioeconomic characteristics of the state’s counties, its differential economic impact needs to be better understood.
