The State - News from July 19, 1988

Los Angeles is the most popular destination for people relocating from San Francisco, and also ranks as the top city from which people are moving to the Bay Area, according to a study sponsored by Ryder Truck Rental. However, San Francisco is No. 1 in the battle for new residents between the Bay Area and Los Angeles. Thirty-one percent more people are moving to San Francisco from Los Angeles than from San Francisco to Los Angeles, the Ryder study showed. San Diego is the second-most-popular destination for people leaving San Francisco, with Portland, Ore., Phoenix and Reno close behind. Santa Barbara, a popular destination in 1987, did not rank among the top 15 this year. The second-largest source of people moving to the San Francisco Bay Area was Sacramento, followed by San Diego, Phoenix, Stockton and Seattle.
