US Census Bureau Reports Mixed Results for County Populations in 2022
TL;DR
Los Angeles County continued to lose population in 2021-22, but at a slower rate than the previous year, with net domestic out-migration being the main cause. Remote work and cost-of-living increases are likely factors in the population decline. Birthrates are also declining, which can exacerbate income inequality. Experts warn that declining population can have real economic consequences and stress the need for more housing to accommodate growth.
