I'm sure that California lost even more than 1 million to diaspora, but the loss was offset by new arrivals. I'm also sure the number of illegal aliens has increased significantly but there doesn't seem to be anyone keeping track of them.

The net loss, including all offsets, has been 1 million.

I don’t think that’s correct. California’s population has grown significantly over the period you’re discussing. http://worldpopulationreview.com/states/california-populatio...

The study I quoted was done by the State of California. It's most likely a reliable source.

[ojbyrne]

The study specifically says “domestic” migration.

This entire thread is about migration. I was refuting someone's statement about too many many transplants arriving, when in fact net transplants are negative. Births have nothing to do with that. Most international migration to California is illegal.

If nothing else, that one doesn't take into account births/deaths and immigration/emigration outside the US.

That's net domestic migration. It doesn't count international migration, one way or the other.
