Hey Gavin Newsom's , How Do You Like Being Proven Wrong? Newsom's Claim There Is No California Exodus.

In 2021, it was big news — the “California exodus.” Now, it just looks like the new trend: California's population is still shrinking. According to the latest population estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau, California's total population declined by more than 500,000 between April 2020 and July 2022.Feb 17, 2023

In an interview with Sean Hannity last week, Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) claimed the idea of an exodus from California is a myth. But the data tell a far different story.

Let’s start with the basics: Between April 2020 and July 2022, California’s population decreased by more than 500,000 people. And when considering net domestic migration, 700,000 more people moved out of California than moved in during that period. Newsom pointed out that other states such as Mississippi and Louisiana lost more people per capita than California, suggesting all is fine in the Golden State. But the truth is that comparing these numbers to other states does not make the picture any brighter for California. In 2022, California had the worst raw domestic net migration numbers of any state, losing almost 350,000 people. When one looks at the number as a portion of the total population, California is still in the bottom 10, losing 0.3% of its residents.https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/gavin-newsoms-claim-there-is-no-california-exodus-debunked https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/gavin-newsoms-claim-there-is-no-california-exodus-debunked Here Proving Newsom's Wrong. 1.Rich people are leaving California taking their tax revenue with them.

2.The Population of California Declined, Again In 2022, the state’s population dropped by roughly 138,400 people, to 38.94 million. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/03/us/california-population-decline.html

3.California’s population has continued to plummet, according to a new state report, underscoring a continuing trend as the state scrambles to increase its housing stock and ease a cost of living crisis. Californians are continuing to leave in droves for other states around the US, a fact some experts attribute to the increasing numbers of high-income workers working remotely during the pandemic. The state’s population shrank by 138,000 people in 2022, according to a report by the California department of finance, which showed a slightly slower decline than during the two previous years. The contraction continued despite the fact that deaths declined and the number of immigrants moving into the state increased, returning to pre-pandemic levels. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/may/03/california-population-decline-states

4.California continued to lose residents in 2022, but the state’s population decline is slowing as immigration ramps up again following the COVID-19 pandemic. The state is currently home to about 38.9 million people, down more than 138,400 year-over-year, according to the California Department of Finance. The 0.35% decline from 2022 to 2023 is an improvement over the 0.53% decrease that occurred between 2021 and 2022, when California lost more than 200,000 people. The Department of Finance calculates the population numbers using data collected from birth and death records, driver license address changes, tax return information, Medicare and Medi-Cal enrollment, immigration reports, school enrollments and other sources.

5.Will California continue to see a population decrease? San Diego leaders discuss: California’s population shrank by 508,903 people during the first two years of the pandemic, second behind only New York. A half-million people leaving California, which has a population of more than 39 million, isn’t exactly a large-scale exodus — but it does have some policymakers concerned about the state’s future. Texas and Florida saw their populations increase during the same time period. https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/business/story/2023-02-24/will-california-continue-to-see-a-population-decrease
