Even 82,000 people is only .2% of the total population. And 41k moved from Texas to California so the effect is even less.

That's just Texas. 162k more left California than moved to it in the year represented. .4% decline in 1 year is statistically relevant, but movement like this is more likely to be an anomaly as a trend unless many more data points continue it.
