There are nearly 70,000 more people in California now than last year, according to a new report. It's the first time the state's population has grown since before the pandemic.
The nation’s most populous state is growing again, ending a trend of population decline that had dogged Gov. Gavin News om through much of his tenure.California gained just over 67,000 people last year, the first increase since 2019, according to an estimate released Tuesday by the state Department of Finance.
"It’s going to be better for the state in terms of its total population," McGhee said. "It would still, at this rate, not be enough to probably avoid losing more congressional districts in the 2030 census."More people still left California for other states in 2023 than moved to California from other states, but it was far less than previous years.
