SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — More people are leaving California than moving in, evidence of the toll the state's housing crisis is taking as the world's fifth largest economy inches toward 40 million people.
An estimate released Friday by the California Department of Finance put the California's population at 39.96 million, just shy of the 40 million milestone demographers had predicted the state would have passed by now.
The report shows California added more than 180,000 people when accounting for births and deaths for the 12 month period ending July 1. But when you include people who moved in and out of the state, California lost 39,500.

The taxpayers are fleeing.
I predict Texas will surpass California in the next 50 years.
I predict I won’t be around to know!! :)
State pensioners have bolted to Nevada for no state income taxes. It’s one thing for people with private pensions leaving the state, but these people benefited hugely from the state. It seems it would be easy to track the state pensions that aren’t being taxed since the state is paying them.
If California has a stagnant population, how the heck are they going to pick up 19 House seats after the census ?!?!?!?
Sh*thole 3rd world state imminent.....
The link is to the communist site MSN, not the specific AP story you have to scroll through to find.
That’s a country. In fact, it’s as big as two Scandinavias.
Can we cut them loose? They can have Nancy, whatever office they want to give her.

No citizenship questions on census forms. Wetbacks
make up difference.
An even more telling figure would be, for those age 20 to 70, what is the net income of the "incoming" vs. net income of the "outgoing" people. This figure has it's problems, such as not accounting for income potential of young people coming in, but, nonetheless it would be a useful data point.
Obviously, they need more taxes and regulation. Problem solved!
They aren’t. CA is projected to either lose a seat or, at best, stay at 53.
Not sure what you are asking for?
KA got away with taxing the retirement income of the folk who escaped for far too long.
They called it the “Source Tax”.
So even if you left for a less expensive state and had no representation or presence in KA you still got taxed.
It took an act of congress to eventually put a stop to it.
NV congresswoman Barbara Vucanovich was the true author and force behind the bill.
Once she retired several others claimed the honor, including Dingy Reid.
Plus about ten million illegals. Not all from south of border. Many from Muslim Krapistans (and Africa and) ? A Very dangerous situation imho
“Half” of them are illegals...
Mexico has reclaimed it.
And it has more than 10% of the vote in the House.
At least Florida has true conservative leadership. Let's pray they keep it now that the fraud machine in Broward and PBC are crushed.
It is worse than that; just as in NJ and NY, the FUTURE taxpayers are fleeing. The effect is most clearly seen in unwanted single-family homes, declining college enrollment, and open borders to keep up the population - and morale.
California has real ghost towns from the Gold Rush; NJ and NY are determined to prevent that natural result of the government policies here.
