Economics...
So what factors might be at the bottom of people moving? Well, new job opportunities are likely a major factor. For example, the rise of Silicon Valley likely drew many to California to fill the hundreds of thousands of tech jobs created in the 1970s and 1980s (and beyond). Industry changes like the rise of telework, for example, could also shake-up peoples’ residency plans.
Another clearly important factor which changes (and is at least somewhat related to business opportunities) is the political environment of a state. The ruling political regime and the consequences of their policies are variables that frequently change and could easily explain changing migration patterns.

Lt Col Charlie Brown We left Illinois over thirty years ago and have never been sorry for leaving. Last I heard Illinois was in deep financial trouble. That can only mean more taxes for those who stay to help bail the state out. California? I won't even comment. Just glad I am not stuck there.

It impacts the Census and that does! Just takes a bit of time. BTW, this is why the democrats were pushing for illegals to be counted in the census

It does, and I think California lost a Representative seat due to loss of population
