California's population grows for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic
Briefly

California's population grew by over 67,000 in 2023, mainly due to rebounding legal foreign immigration and a natural increase in population, signaling a return to growth after the pandemic slowdown.
Net migration from California decreased significantly in 2023 compared to previous years, contributing to the state's slower but positive growth outlook for the near future.
The state saw growth in statewide housing in 2023, with over 115,000 units added, showing a positive trend in construction and housing development.
31 counties in California experienced population growth, primarily in regions like the Bay Area, Central Valley, and Inland Empire, with some counties showing growth rates above 1% due to housing increases.
