California saw its population decrease in 2021, the second consecutive year the state has seen a population decline.
California was previously able to offset those population losses by having more births than deaths and taking in a substantial number of immigrants. But in 2020, the state suffered thousands of deaths from the pandemic, and international immigration declined after the federal government imposed travel restrictions and visa limitations in an effort to mitigate the spread of the virus.
The state saw its population decline for the first time that year in what officials believed was an outlier year caused by the global pandemic. The numbers released Monday, however, revealed that the state's drop in population continued in 2021, although the decline was less than it was in 2020. State officials said the decline is due to a dip in international immigration, gaining just 43,000 residents from other countries in 2021 compared to the pre-pandemic annual average of 140,000.
