(Worthy News) – California’s population fell by more than 182,000 people in 2020, marking the first year-over-year loss ever recorded for the nation’s most populous state.
State officials announced Friday that California’s population dipped 0.46% to just under 39.5 million people from January 2020 to January 2021.
The news comes one week after the US Census Bureau announced a paltry population growth for the state, resulting in it losing a congressional seat for the first time. The census numbers reflect the state’s population in April 2020. The new state numbers released reflect the state’s population as of January 2021. [ Source: Guardian (Read More…) ]
