🌴California's Population Growth Rebounds: A Three-Year Decline Reversed! 📈

In partnership with

Happy Thursday, Bullseye Traders! 

For nearly two centuries, California’s population surged like a wave at a beach party... until 2020 crashed the party with the COVID-19 pandemic, causing folks to flee for more wallet-friendly spots like Austin, Phoenix, and Vegas. 🏖️ But fear not, the Golden State is back on its feet and shining brighter than ever. In 2023, California broke its slump and threw a population growth celebration.

According to The New York Times, last year California welcomed over 67K new residents, a 0.17% bump from the previous year, bringing the total population to a whopping 39.13M 🎉. Among its 58 counties, 31 saw a surge in population, especially in hotspots like the Bay Area, Central Valley, and Inland Empire regions.

California's got its mojo back, baby! Despite still missing about 400K party animals from pre-pandemic levels, the state's reversal of fortune can be chalked up to factors like turbocharged legal immigration, lower mortality rates, and a slowdown in folks packing their bags. Plus, the state's been tackling its housing headache, adding roughly 116K new digs last year, including nifty little accessory dwellings (aka cozy, affordable cribs). H.D. Palmer from the state’s Finance Department is practically doing cartwheels, exclaiming, “We’re back on track to a future that shines bright like a Cali sunset... we’ve got this!” 🌅
