[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Much of the discussion about millennial migration tends to focus on high-cost, dense urban regions such as those that dominate New York, Massachusetts and, of course, California. Yet the IRS data tells us a very different story about migrants aged 26 to 34. Here it’s Texas in the lead, and by a wide margin, followed by Oregon, Colorado, Washington, Nevada, North Dakota, South Carolina, Maine, Florida and New Hampshire. Once again New York and Illinois stand out as the biggest losers in this age category.

Perhaps more important for the immediate future may be the migration of people at the peak of their careers, those aged 35 to 54. These are also the age cohorts most likely to be raising children. The top four are the same in both cohorts. Among the 35 to 44 age group, it’s Texas, followed by Florida,  South Carolina and North Dakota. Among the 45 to 54 cohort, Texas, followed by South Carolina, Florida and North Dakota.[/quote]

Perhaps with the influx of educated high-earners, these states will stop voting against their own interests and turn blue. :)[/quote]
Texan here. We've seen a massive influx of Californians to our state...who proceed vote for the exact same policies/types of politicians that caused them to flee CA in the first place.

I don't get it. [/quote]

Consolidation of power by plutocrats is damaging anywhere. CA folks were long an agricultural colony, hence their water woes. Lately Silicon Valley has mushroomed, especially FANG and top VCs, rendering Bay Area land prohibitively expensive. Given that TX is already largely in the control of ranchers and petroleum, I’d be dreading Cali folk making it even worse.[/quote]
