California’s population growth plunged to the lowest level since 1900 in recent months; with residents fleeing the region over high-taxes, illegal immigration, crime, and homelessness.
“The number of Californians increased to 39.96 million, with new data from the Department of Finance showing mostly downward trends,” reports the Los Angeles Times. “They are rooted in fewer births, coupled with increased deaths among an aging population. The Golden State, however, has also seen changes in international migration, along with more and more residents leaving the state.”
“According to the agency, natural increase (with 452,200 births and 271,400 deaths) accounted for an additional 180,800 people to the state. Still, these gains were offset by losses in net migration — that is, the total amount of people moving into the state minus the total amount of people moving out. Notably, said Eddie Hunsinger, a demographer with the Department of Finance, even though the net international migration added to the state’s population, there was substantial negative domestic net migration, which resulted in a loss of 39,500 residents. This, said the department, marks ‘the first time since the 2010 census that California has had more people leaving the state than moving in from abroad or other states,’” adds the website.
