Southern California Immigration Plummets, Population Shrinks

Southern Californias foreign immigration plummeted by 53% over the past year, dropping to around 47,000 people across five key counties. This sharp decline, which began at the start of President Trumps second term, contributed to the regions overall population shrinking by 1%. The slowdown was most pronounced in the Inland Empire, which saw an 85% drop, and LA-Orange County and San Diego, which dropped 48% and 50% respectively. Despite these immigration brakes, places like the Inland Empire still experienced growth of 4% due to domestic moves. The policy shift has sparked debate, with critics arguing its choking the local economy and supporters cheering the easing of strain on housing, schools, and public services.
