California's population continued to shrink in 2021 as the nation's most populous state posted its second consecutive decline, state officials said Monday.
California’s population declined again in 2021 for the second consecutive year, state officials said Monday, the result of a slowdown in births and immigration coupled with an increase in deaths and people leaving the state.With an estimated 39,185,605 residents, California is still the U.S.’s most populous state, putting it far ahead of second-place Texas and its 29.5 million residents.
California’s population fell for the first time that year. At the time, state officials thought it was a outlier, the result of a pandemic that turned the world upside down. But the new estimate released Monday by the California Department of Finance showed the trend continued in 2021, although the decline was less than it had been in 2020.
That problem is not easily fixed. California has been losing population to other states for 30 years, said Eric McGHee, a senior at the Public Policy Institute of California, a nonpartisan think tank. It’s one reason why he thinks California has is “in a period of stagnation for the foreseeable future.”
