California’s Tiny Population Dip | Los Angeles News

California just lost nearly 9,500 residents — a tiny 0.02% dip — making it the state with the smallest population decline among five U.S. states that saw drops this year. While the nation’s overall population continues to grow, the pace has slowed to under 1%. The data reveals surprising demographic trends: New England states like Maine and Vermont are aging rapidly, while Utah remains the youngest. California’s median age of 39 puts it in the middle — but even small declines can ripple through housing, infrastructure, and economic dynamics.
