County’s Population Sees Net In-State Loss
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
San Diego County last year saw more people move to other parts of California than move in, turning around an eight-year trend, according to analysts who blamed the county’s high housing prices.
While the net out-migration was a modest 613, it was a sharp contrast to recent years when 4,200 to 19,000 more people moved to San Diego County from other parts of the United States, according to the state Department of Finance.
In December, the median price of a home was more than $577,000, a jump of $111,000 from December 2003, according to the California Assn. of Realtors.
