US Census Bureau Reveals Population Shifts: Who's Moving and Who's Not
TL;DR
Census data released on Thursday shows that San Francisco and the Bay Area continue to shrink from their pre-Covid populations, with the nine-county region losing a quarter million residents between 2020 and 2022, or a 3.2% decline. San Francisco leads all large U.S. counties in terms of its rate of population decline during the pandemic, with a 7.5% loss of population. Immigration is an important driver of San Francisco's population levels, and domestic outmigration dropped dramatically during 2021-2022.
