Answer: nearly 3.4 million
According to a Manhattan Institute study called The Great California Exodus: A Closer Look, 4.2 million Americans moved to California from other states between 1960 and 1990.
Since 1990, however, the state has lost nearly 3.4 million residents through migration to other states, like Texas, Nevada, Arizona, Oregon, Washington, Colorado, Idaho, Utah, Georgia and South Carolina. The average number of residents leaving the state each year over the last decade is 225,000, the report found.

Not a big surprise. Nice place to visit but I sure as heck couldn't live there.
How many illegal emigrants have moved in to take the place of the residents who left?
Sorry Jrichards but emigrants are the people leaving the State. You emigrate to another place. Did you mean immigrants? Oh, and by the way, are you Native American? Then your family were immigrants too.
DMc, everybody who's born here is native and we have procedures for proper immigration and citizenship, and I'm tired of your non-productive and dead statement. Jrichards had a valid question. Let's get away from the politically-correct claptrap, shall we?
