Between July 2005 and July 2006, 42,034 more people moved from San Diego County to other places in the country than came here from elsewhere in the nation, according to county population estimates released today by the U.S. Census Bureau. That put San Diego eighth in the nation among counties with high domestic out-migration.
Since 2000, the net number of people who moved out of the county is even more staggering – 119,636, a figure greater than Carlsbad’s population.
