California has more out-migration, both as a percentage of population and in absolute terms, than any other of the fifty states.  It has been in the top five "worst" for quite a few years.

For the last several years, California has ranked #1 in outgoing migration to other states. On the other hand, California has ranked #3 in incoming migration from other states, and #1 in incoming migration from other countries.
