Many Californians are choosing to leave their coastal state in search of more affordable homes, safer neighborhoods, and a slower pace of life. Since 2020, over 817,000 people have moved out of California, with approximately 407,000 of those leaving between July 2021 and July 2022 alone.
As this migration trend continues, various websites have popped up offering advice to those considering a move. These platforms help new residents understand cultural differences and the overall vibe of their new locations to ensure they’re prepared for what’s ahead.
Popular destinations for Californians include Florida, which is on the opposite side of the country, and Charleston, one of the largest cities in West Virginia, known for its job opportunities and affordable housing.
Do you have any neighbors who’ve made the move from California to West Virginia? If so, what have they said about their new lives? It’s likely that their experiences reflect some of the common reasons people leave California in search of a different lifestyle.
