Report: 50,000 People From California Moved To Nevada From 2017 to 2018

More than 50,000 people moved from California to Nevada between July 2017 and July 2018, the second-highest amount in the past 10 years, according to newly released U.S. Census Bureau estimates.

Nearly four-in-10 people who moved to Nevada from another U.S. state in those 12 months were from California, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

There are more adults in Nevada who were born in California than were born in Nevada, said Robert Lang, executive director of Brookings Mountain West at UNLV.
