What are the pros and cons of moving from California to Texas?
The number of people leaving California is quite astonishing. According to reports, about a million people left California for other states between the year 2007 and 2016. People are no longer willing to endure daily struggles for the beautiful coastlines and breathtaking hills. Here are a few pros and cons of moving from California to Texas:
Pros
- Space to roam
Both states are huge in terms of size but Texas is bigger and has a smaller population as compared to California. Texas is about 261,914 square miles with a population of 29 million people while California is about 155,973 square miles and has a population of 40 million people.
- Lower housing cost
Thanks to Texas’ abundance of space, the housing costs are comparatively lower to those in California. This means that you can get a bigger living space at a lower price in Texas. While renting an apartment in Los Angeles can run you down about $4200, bigger space in Houston or Austin can cost you anywhere from $1400 to $2000.
- Lower taxes
While individual income taxes for the top earners in California can rise to 13.3% and 8% for people earning less than $50,000 per year, in Texas there is no individual income tax. Texas also has lower sales taxes compared to California.
- Faster growing economy
Austin is listed 10th on the Forbes top 10 growing economies. It is the second-largest economy in the United States.
Cons
- Cost of transportation
In Texas, there is a lack of public transportation. This means that you’ll incur higher costs for taxis and other modes of transportation than you would in California.
- Conservative views
Texas is not as liberal as California. People in the state are more conservative on many issues touching on gender, politics, religion, and more.
- Weather
The weather changes in Texas aren’t as predictable as in California. There are higher chances of storms and tornadoes here.
