A new U-Haul report suggests the California exodus is still happening despite an increase in population. For people looking to move, California is not a desired location, according to data collected by U-Haul. The moving company compiled more than two and a half million one-way moves over the last calendar year. California came in last place for one-way traffic with more people choosing to leave. “About 51% of all one-way moves dispatches leaving the state. About 49 percent Were arrivals coming into the state,” said Jeff Lockridge, manager of media for U-Haul. Lockridge says this is the fifth year in a row California has come in last place. “This past year, 2024, there were less one way move nationally and in California than 2023. Part of that is probably the housing market prices and the housing market in general,” said Lockridge.
