Moving to California
California is the most-moved-to and most-moved-from state, with high costs offset by jobs, climate, and coastline.
What a move to California costs
Expect above-average moving and living costs; long-distance moves are priced by shipment weight and distance, so declutter before you pack.
What to know before you move
- High cost of living and housing
- Wildfire and earthquake considerations by region
- Long-distance moves are common and weight-priced — declutter aggressively
