Critics say people are still “fleeing our state in droves,” but state officials say the exodus is slowing and will return to slow growth in a couple years with the COVID-19 pandemic in …
For the third consecutive year, the Golden State’s population continued to shrink in 2023, even as 42 other states grew this past year, many reversing population declines during the COVID pandemic, according to figures from the U.S. Census Bureau released Tuesday.
“Although births declined, this was tempered by the near 9% decrease in deaths,” said Kristie Wilder, a demographer in the Population Division at the Census Bureau. “Ultimately, fewer deaths paired with rebounding immigration resulted in the nation experiencing its largest population gain since 2018.”California’s population shrank by 75,423 residents in 2023 to 38,965,193, a drop of 0.2% from 2022. But the so-called California exodus is slowing. The drop is less than the 0.
California’s declining population has become a political point, with Republicans arguing the heavily Democratic state’s high taxes, cost of living, crime and heavy regulation are driving people away. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, in a debate last month with California Gov. Gavin Newsom, noted that “people are leaving his state.”
But state officials said California’s population figures are explained more by the pandemic than Gov. Newsom’s policies.
