California leaving: State population declines for first time
California’s population fell by more than 182,000 last year, the first yearly loss ever recorded for the nation’s most populous state
The figures released Friday followed last week’s announcement from the U.S. Census Bureau that California would lose a congressional seat for the first time because it grew more slowly than other states over the past decade
Still, California’s population of just under 39.5 million and soon-to-be 52-member congressional delegation remain by far the largest
The average sale price of a single-family home in California hit a record $758,990 in March, a 23.9 percent increase from a year ago
