population decline

California lost another 37,000 people from July 1, 2022, to July 1, 2023, marking the third straight year of population decline. 

The latest figures from the U.S. Census Bureau show a 500,000-person decline between April 2020 and July 2022. When looking at in-migration and out-migration, the state saw a net loss of 871,127 people.

The California exodus is real and it’s undeniable, but the demographics may surprise you.

U.S. population growth has come to a crawl, according to the latest data released by the U.S. Census Bureau this month.
