Though this graph is from 2019, I think it shows that people don’t move far from home.
Hat tip to Rob Dawg for sending in this link with loads of data:

Here is the map for most of Riverside County – Temecula is a good option for movers because it’s close to SD County and a place where you can buy a newer home for less and still keep your SD job and doctors:
You couldn’t pay me to move to LA county or back to the SF Bay Area. Coastal SD County is END GAME.
Coastal California; Monterey to Chula Vista is not “end game” so much as “end base.” If you are comfortable there then undoubtably you have the means for a Sierra cabin or Hawaii condo and the resources to travel anywhere else.
The idea of an active middle age retirement only to return to say… Redlands does not appeal. For instance. We explored Chicago last week of October. Much fun but still always happy to return to the Dawghaus. Currently 79° Camarillo and snow expected in Chicago.
Agree – I don’t like talking to potential home sellers in this weather!
