U-Haul data provides latest grim sign California is dying amid fires, floods, soaring crime and vagrancy
2026-01-08
[MAIL] Self-drive removals firm U-Haul released an eye-catching study showing that more people are fleeing California than any other American state.

For the sixth year in a row, the Golden State was at the rock bottom of the moving company's Growth Index survey.

The report comes after another year of devastating natural disasters, continuous crime, extreme woke politics and widespread homelessness.

Despite having the most people leave the state, the one consolation for California was that it had a smaller number of movers leave in 2025 than in 2024.

Four other left-leaning states joined California to fill out the bottom five spots of U-Haul's growth index: Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, and Illinois.

Topping the list was Texas, which has been ranked the highest-growth state by U-Haul for the seventh time in 10 years.

Of the top five states, four have Republican governors. Blue-to-red state migration remains a discernible trend, according to the survey.

However, those leaving Governor Gavin Newsom's state tend to stay close, choosing locations such as Nevada, Oregon, Washington, Texas, and Arizona.
