(we'll turn Texas Purple soon )

The Sacramento Bee analyzed tax return data from the Internal Revenue Service between 2004 and 2013, the height of the housing crash and recession, which impacted California more sharply than most states.

During that time period, about 3.9 million people moved to California from other states, leaving a net migration population loss of more than 1 million people.

Texas attracted more Californians than any other state, drawing 600,000 residents.
