California Most Desired State from Harris Poll 2010

Written by Nancy Shonka Padberg

Seven of the top 10 states have a warm, sunny climate. Only New York, Oregon and Washington have a cooler, cloudier weather pattern.

In addition, only three states are on the Eastern seaboard, with one in the Midwest, two in the Southwest and four on the West Coast (including Hawaii).

Older Americans Prefer Hawaii
Dividing respondents generationally, older Baby Boomers (46-64) and Matures (65-plus) favor Hawaii, while younger Echo Boomers (18-33) and Gen Xers (34-45) prefer California. Florida placed second with Baby Boomers and California placed third. Among Matures, California tied with Oregon for fifth.
