BERKELEY — Residents are exiting the Bay Area at a far greater pace than people are coming into the region — and the exodus from the Bay Area and from San Francisco, in particular, is far more severe than is the case for California overall, a study released Thursday shows.

The defections from the Bay Area and California have increased during the months of government-ordered business shutdowns to help ward off the spread of the coronavirus, according to a study by the California Policy Lab at UC Berkeley and UCLA.
