California gained 3.7 million people from 1970 to 1980 and Texas gained 4.3 million people from 2000 to 2010. The reason California gained 7 and Texas gained 4 is because the country was smaller in 1980 than it was in 2010.

I would argue it is slower now because its expensive to live there. That's a guess though. More people would probably rather move to Texas, where you get warm weather and an easier way of life.
