SACRAMENTO, Calif
California's population shrank for the second year in a row in 2021 as the nation's most populous state was hit by declining birth rates, higher deaths from the pandemic and fewer people moving into the state from elsewhere in the U.S., officials said Monday.
California lost 117,552 people in 2021, putting its population to 39,185,605, the California Department of Finance said. That's still the largest state population in the country ahead of second-place Texas.
But after years of steady population growth for California that put it close to having 40 million residents, the state's population is back to where it was in 2016.
State officials blamed the loss on a declining birth rate for California coupled with an increase in deaths, mostly because of COVID-19.
Also, fewer people are moving to California from other states and state officials have said that federal immigration policies have drastically curtailed the number of people moving to the state from other countries.
California's population declined for the first time in 2020, the result of a multi-year slow-down in growth that led to the state losing a seat in Congress after the 2020 U.S. Census.
Thirty-four of the state's 58 counties lost people last year. They included Los Angeles County — the nation's most populous, with 9.8 million residents — and San Diego and Orange counties. They are three of the most populous counties in the country.

Homelessness is common in many countries. The US only has a count of 580K. Many other countries have higher figures as shown in this Wiki. For example, China has 5 times and India has 3 times as much as the US.
Nonetheless, homelessness in the US has been quoted all the time by various media as very serious. This may be because many people are not expecting such to happen in the US.

Not surprised for this kind of country. Drugs and arms are also found in many other cities. Again, the US is not the country top in the list. Russia has more. Drug problems are also found in China.

As for the arms, the US could do less if there is an arms control. The US has the most gun owners in the World. Again, it is not the highest in terms of
firearm-related death rate

If one must know, the US is the most popular country among the immigrants. It has about 50 millions
Foreign-Born Residents (Immigrants) -. This is more than 3 times its next rival, Germany.

People are moving out of California because there has been a drought there for many years. Unfortunately, they haven't found a good solution.
