After experiencing a decline, California's population is on the rise once more, surpassing 39 million for the first time since mid-2022, as reported by the Los Angeles Times. The state saw its highest population at 39.5 million in 2020, but the pandemic disrupted this growth, leading to a net loss of nearly 700,000 residents by July 2022. Factors such as remote work flexibility, COVID-19 fatalities, and stringent migration policies under the Trump administration contributed to this decline. However, changes in remote work policies, reduced COVID-19 death rates, and revised migration regulations under the Biden administration are driving a resurgence in population growth. The state demographer anticipates the population will continue to grow, projecting a peak of 40.2 million by 2044 before a slight decline to 39.6 million by 2060. The high cost of living remains a challenge, with California's median home price significantly exceeding the national average, potentially impacting future demographic and economic trends.
