Californians don't like to leave home. Driving the news: A recent Dallas Fed study using U.S. Census Bureau data ranked California the 4th "stickiest" state in the county. This map shows that 73% of people born in California still lived here in 2021. Why it matters: Even with its high cost of living, slowing population growth and lessening migration, people still want to live in California. What's happening: A recent statewide survey found 70% of residents feel happy about living in California, yet 4 in 10 Californians are considering moving out of state, mostly due to concerns about living expenses.
