California’s residents
California has always held a special place in the American imagination as a place where people can start a new life and increase their personal fortunes. Perhaps due partly to this, California is the most populous state in the United States, with over 39.5 million residents, which is a significant increase from the number of residents in 1960. California also has a high population density, with 253.8 residents per square mile in 2017.
