Louisiana, West Virginia, Nebraska and Indiana, and is one percent of radical leftie Iowa.
Source is Atlas Van Lines…no dog in the fight, don’t want to ruin anyone’s narrative.
I’ve been telling everyone to stay away for decades … yet traffic continues to worsen and property values continue to rise.
Tell the US Census. Because they believe California actually lost population.
Or perhaps you can get Atlas Van Lines to tell them. Now there is an authoritative source.
Maybe they’ll give back the Congressional District too:
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California, for decades a symbol of boundless growth and opportunity that attracted people from across the country and abroad, has seen its population growth stall and is losing a U.S. House seat for the first time in its 170-year history.
Census Bureau population data released Monday is used to determine how the nation’s 435 House seats are allocated. California remains the most populous by far with nearly 39.58 million people but it is growing more slowly than other states and will see its House delegation drop from 53 to 52.
California’s population grew by about 2.3 million people since the 2010 Census but has been nearly flat since 2017.
