SACRAMENTO – If you think California is crowded now, just wait until 2050.

The Department of Finance predicted Monday that California will have 59.5 million residents when the state reaches the mid-century mark – nearly 22 million more than today.

Hispanics will make up 52 percent of the population in 2050, up from 36 percent currently. Whites, now 43 percent of the population, will drop to 26 percent, while Asians' share will grow by one percentage point to 13 percent and blacks will decline from 6 percent to 5 percent, according to the department's forecast. Hispanics are projected to become a majority of the population by 2042.

Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez, D-Los Angeles, said the report demonstrated the state's need to improve school performance by Hispanics, build housing close to jobs, increase efforts to protect the environment and end the “politics of division.”

“If we don't work now to end immigrant bashing and the politics of division, we will allow wedges to form that can pull apart a society whose sheer size alone will require enormous tolerance and cooperation to function,” he said in a written statement.

The report is updated every three to five years by the department's demographics unit. The most recent previous report was issued in 2004.

Here are some other conclusions in the report released Monday:

Los Angeles, with 13 million residents, will remain the state's most heavily populated county, but Riverside will overtake Orange and San Diego counties and become the second most heavily populated, with 4.7 million people.

Five Central Valley counties – Sutter, Yuba, Madera, Kern and San Joaquin – will have the biggest percentage increases in population in the first half of the century. Sutter's population will grow more than 200 percent from its current level, to 282,894.

Trinity County will have the highest percentage of whites in 2050 – nearly 90 percent. Imperial County will have the biggest percentage of Hispanics – 85 percent. Alameda County will have the biggest concentration of Asians – 33 percent. And the biggest percentage of blacks will be found in San Bernardino County – 13 percent.

That ought to raise the crime rate, create danger and excitement all around, and displace the white-liberal status quo.

Lot of time between now and 2050.

Depends on how fast we can plug the dike and deport the rest of the lawbreakers.

I concede them nothing.

A republican candidate will never carry California in a presidential election again, unless they are FROM California and are as liberal as Rudy.

I have been chastised recently (by California Conservatives) for making derogatory remarks about the direction that California has been taking ... so I think I’ll just say that, “I hope that what your State is turning into is everything that you wished and worked for”.

The real questions: “How many millions of Californians shall have fled the state then, to which states will they flee in net, and what percentage of those fleeing ex-Californians will be liberal/conservative?”

Typical DEM comment :the STATE’s” responsibility to improve education.

What I really don’t like is when Hispanic people give me a dirty look and speak to each other in Spanish and laugh. That gets on my nerves.

It all rings true. I was born in Calif. in 1947. I watched the decay of by birthplace really start to accelerate in the 70’ following a huge influx of NY’ers starting the tilt to the left. The illegal invasion started getting serious shortly thereafter, and the rest is history. A once beautiful state that gave us Reagan has become the state that will bring you Reconquista.

From the late 19th century until 1950 the Hispanic demographic for California were a steady 15%.

Then California agriculture began attracting illegal Mexican aliens via Tehas. Next came the Bracero program and liberals welcomed its anchor babies with open arms. Reagan opened the spigot and Bush knocked the bung off the barrel. Within less than 100 years (1950 - 2050), Mexico will have recovered Alto California.

I remember reading about the CA of yesteryear, back in the 50s and early 60s, where middle class families were abundant, that CA dream was in the air, beautiful sun-kissed weather, etc. CA was a trend-setter in everything, inventions, can-do American spirit.

I do not have a million dollars....but if I did...I’d bet it on the fact that California is not going to be at all like what we suppose 40 years from now.

A secession and/or new northern California State is one possibility.

In any case, we are looking at a future blood bath on the horizon.

Aztlan aspirants will have no trouble with blood letting, and only fools cannot see the truth of that.

I left The People's Republik of Kalifornia in the late 1980's and headed for Maui (another story altogether).

Even then I realized Kalifornia was like granola - what wasn't fruits and nuts were flakes.....

[Regulator]

From the late 19th century until 1950 the Hispanic demographic for California were a steady 15%

Actually it was more like 4%.

Turbocharged by deportations in the early '30s.

Mexico never owned California, and still does not.

And we do not have to genuflect to criminal foreigners like Fabian Nunez, and accept his rule.
