Interesting chart and you can trace from 1900.

Confusing thread title but I got it now.

Only 3% of Texans were born in California. Kinda puts the lie to the often repeated rumor that Texas is being overrun by Californians moving here.

That comes out to 12,000 new Californians that move here every year.

Yeah...but 3/4ths of them are overrunning Greater Austin, which only has 1/20th of the state's population.

Can't swing a dead cat here in Austin without hitting a grapenuts eating Californian who's driving (without using their turn signal indicator) their Prius (with an Obama sticker) to their overrated TJs (or In & Out).

Actually the greatest source of people to Austin is from other TX counties. John goes to college at UT, he's from Lubbock, no way he's going back to that cesspool. So he stays here (with or without job). Rebecca goes to college at UT from a small town in East Texas, she loves it here and is staying. Wash and repeat thousands of times.

20 somethings John & Rebecca aren't living (or driving) in the West & NW Austin neighborhoods that I travel in.

But I agree, up to about 15 years ago, the scenario that you described pretty much accounted for most of Austin's growth. Now I bet it accounts for less than 30% of it's growth.

The most important aspect of that map is that it indicates what the citizens of a particular state should be called.

Michiganders!
