That's the Wall Street Journal'ssize, not mine.

Ok, looking at the map we can see they went south ........why is is this such a shock?

And west. And mostly into Republican states. Actually, looking just at intra-US-migration, 9 of the 10 most popular destinations include Republican states, while 9 of the 10 states where most people "flee" are Democratic states.

Hard to imagine that California grew below 1%. Emigration to other US states outweighed international immigration in 2006-07, while there were 330.000 more Births than Deaths.

Their Dept. of Finance meanwhile estimated the 2006-07 growth at 1.2% ...

Its very simple, California has become a high tax/high regulation state, and those seeking a better life are fleeing it.
