If you live in Texas and have met a serious amount of Californians recently, you are not imagining things.

According to recent figures, there has been a serious influx of people moving from California to neighboring Texas. Over the past five years, 363,000 California residents have made a new home in Texas. Thanks to this migration, the state's population has grown faster than even the national rate during that time.

There are several reasons why people are opting to move to Texas.

The state's economy is largely to thank for attracting new residents. As a large gas- and oil-producing state, there are simply more jobs available in Texas. In addition to more jobs, the state's cost of living is generally lower than not just California, but many states across the nation. And finally, the housing market, while still hit with foreclosures, has fared better than many other states that are still struggling to catch up.
