Californians are leaving their coastal state in search of cheaper housing, lower crime rates, and, in many cases, fewer people.
There have been so many pieces on the internet lately offering advice for folks moving, and that’s because over 817,000 people have left the state since 2020, with 407,000 of those movers occurring between July 2021 and July 2022.
Websites have emerged to ensure that Californians understand the cultural differences and overall mood so that they are not taken aback when they arrive at their destination.
Alabama is on the opposite side of the country, and Huntsville is one of the state’s largest cities, which implies greater career chances and housing options.
Do you know any neighbors who relocated from California to Alabama? What did they say about it? It presumably looks like the items listed below.

One of the first things you’ll notice is that you’ll get more rain (an average of 56″ per year, compared to 23.5″ in California, depending on where you live).

Alabama may not receive as much snow as many of the states to the north, but you should keep an eye out during hurricane season. Flooding, tornadoes, storm surges, and powerful winds are all common during these storms, and you may need to pack up and depart for a few days at times.

Alabama has a substantially cheaper cost of living than many other states, which is one of the reasons it is so appealing as a retirement destination for many Americans.
Attachment-5
First and foremost, the humidity in Alabama is very different from what Californians are accustomed to. Learn to say “It’s not the heat, it’s the humidity.”
Attachment-6
You have a wide range of housing options. If you enjoy city life, Huntsville has a population of only 225,564, which is a fraction of Los Angeles County.
