California's first population decline since 2020 has been reversed, primarily due to lower mortality rates and an increase in legal immigration, particularly linked to eased visa restrictions during the last year of the Trump administration.
Southern California, including Riverside, Orange, San Bernardino, and Los Angeles counties, experienced significant growth, contributing more than half of the statewide increase. New housing units, like granny flats, are being added to address the housing shortage.
