I have a brother-in-law who just moved from the Phoenix area to San Diego after he finally retired at the age of 70.
He said when he told a new neighbor where he came from, the neighbor said "You are moving in the wrong direction. Most retirees move out of CA.".
It is mostly income and education based on who is moving in and who is moving out -

"The U.S. Census Bureau, in its newly released surveys for 2017, shows that California’s net migration remained fairly stable. Since 2010, as the economic recovery took hold and housing prices skyrocketed, departures accelerated — but the number of newcomers rose steadily as well.
The state attracts a steady stream of college graduates, especially from the East Coast, even as many less-educated residents moveto neighboring states — and to Texas — in search of a lower cost of living."
