California’s population growth in 2018 was the slowest in state history, a new study shows, as births declined, student enrollment fell and the death rate continued to climb as baby boomers aged.
Myers said the housing crunch made it harder for younger residents to lay down roots. That is especially concerning as California’s senior population continues to grow at a fast pace,“Old people are holding in place, but we are losing the younger generation. We are losing potential parents,” he said. “It is a slow-moving train wreck here.”
Sacramento had the largest percentage gain in population among California’s 10 biggest cities, with 1.49% growth — or 7,400 new residents. Bakersfield grew by 1.1%, while Los Angeles grew only .04%. California added a net of 77,000 completed housing units in 2018. Total housing in the state reached 14.235 million units, a 0.6% increase, according to the Department of Finance. Los Angeles added the most housing units in 2018, with 16,525, while San Diego followed with 4,505.A series of deadly wildfires last year also brought drastic demographic changes to some small cities in Northern California, according to the report.
Nearby cities of Chico and Oroville each saw their populations increase by about 20% after the fires. Chico added more than19,000 residents and now has a population of 112,111, while Oroville added 3,682 for a total of 21,773 residents. California’s fires destroyed 14,600 housing units in Butte County, 900 units in Shasta County, 700 in Ventura County and 300 in Lake County.
