Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 02:11:13 GMT

During the past two years, 1.6 million Californians left for other states.I figured they might want some help choosing a new place to live. So, I embarked on my “Leaving California” voyage — seven columns ranking the potential of other states for ex-Californian wannabes.My trusty spreadsheet examined stats on state economies, demographics, health, climate and politics to weigh appropriate landing spots. The 49 other states were graded for costs, wellness, jobs, fun, culture and safety. And just to make sure I didn’t goof, other “best state” rankings also were reviewed.What did I learn? When those seven scorecards were combined, the top state for an exiting Californian was New Hampshire. It scored three, top-five grades among the seven rankings.Next on my scorecard for a highly compatible California exit were Utah, Minnesota, Utah, Idaho, and Washington.At the other end of this spectrum, the top state to avoid was Mississippi. It had four grades in the bottom five. The next lowest we...
