California - 54.4% Outbound Rate

California used to be the dream, and it's still a wonderful place to live. You have beaches, forests, and deserts. There's something there for everyone. Well, at least almost everyone. California has been the poster child for rising property prices and high taxes. Even some of the smallest homes can set you back seven figures, depending on the location, which has caused a lot of people to seek opportunities elsewhere.
