加州人口增至3952.9万：连续第三年增长 财政厅发布年度估算
Sacramento——加州州长办公室10月22日宣布，加州财政厅（California Department of Finance）发布的年度7月人口估算显示，加州人口增至39,529,000人，连续第三年实现增长。州长办公室表示，这一结果表明，在经历疫情时期的两年下降之后，加州人口已持续回到长期人口稳定轨道。
按州长办公室公布的估算构成，2024年至2025年间，国际移民为加州人口增加约126,000人，仍是增长的重要来源，但规模约为上一年度的一半，州长办公室将其归因于联邦层面对合法移民的限制；同期出生人口增加108,300人，出生人数保持稳定。
州长纽森在声明中说，连续三年的人口增长传递出一个简单的信息：加州仍是人们选择安家的地方。他表示，加州拥有全球第四大经济体、一流的大学与研究机构，以及娱乐、农业、科技与清洁能源等产业优势。
州长办公室同日发布的说明还列出治安与税负方面的对照数据：自2019年以来，加州财产犯罪、纵火、入室盗窃与抢劫率均有所下降；2023年至2024年，全州暴力犯罪率下降6%、凶杀率下降10.4%、机动车盗窃率下降15.2%。说明同时引述税收与经济政策研究所（Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy）的简报称，加州对收入居于后80%家庭的税负接近全国平均水平。
California Population Rises to 39.529 Million in Third Straight Year of Growth: Finance Department Estimates
SACRAMENTO — The office of California Governor Gavin Newsom announced on October 22 that annual July population estimates released by the California Department of Finance show the state's population grew to 39,529,000, a third consecutive year of growth. The Governor's office said the result signals a continued return to long-term demographic stability after two pandemic-era declines.
According to the estimates released by the Governor's office, international immigration contributed an estimated 126,000 people to California's population from 2024 to 2025. It remained a significant driver of growth, but at roughly half the level of the previous year, which the Governor's office attributed to federal restrictions on legal immigration. Births added 108,300 people over the same period, as births remained stable.
In a statement, Newsom said three years of population growth sends a simple message: California is still the place people choose. He cited the world's fourth-largest economy, leading universities and research hubs, and industries ranging from entertainment and agriculture to technology and clean energy.
The Governor's office release also listed crime and tax comparisons: since 2019, property crime, arson, burglary, and robbery rates have all decreased in California, and from 2023 to 2024 the violent crime rate fell 6%, the homicide rate fell 10.4%, and the motor vehicle theft rate fell 15.2%. The release also cited an Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy brief finding that California taxes are close to the national average for families in the bottom 80 percent of the income scale.
