Four other Bay Area counties, Contra Costa, San Francisco, Solano, and Santa Clara, also experienced population growth. Alameda, Marin, San Mateo, and Sonoma saw losses.
In 2023, California experienced a net gain of 67,000 people, marking the first population increase since 2020, attributed to factors like the California exodus and the pandemic effect.
The increase in California's population was influenced by a reversion in pandemic-related migration trends, with more people moving away from California, closer to pre-pandemic levels.
California's growth was fueled by legal immigrants entering the state and a decrease in mortality rates from pandemic peaks back to normal levels, as reported by the state.
