California's population has dropped by more than half a million in about two years. Why?
California gained about 157,000 more people from natural change — the difference in number between births and deaths — than New York did, making New York’s total population loss greater.
Paul Ong, director of the Center for Neighborhood Knowledge at UCLA, pointed to economic, health and sociopolitical factors driving people to leave the state. He noted that housing prices in California have pushed many to move to states where costs are lower. His research showed that the bulk of departures in Los Angeles County were from the city of Los Angeles.
Ong noted that population loss has slowed since its peak in 2020, but that there have been “no net gains to offset the pandemic losses.”
