California has been the most populous state in the United States since the 1970 census, when the population of California exceeded that of New York. During the past decade, Latinos and Asians accounted for virtually all of California’s population growth. During the past two decades, the majority of population growth in California has come from natural increase rather than migration, even though fertility rates in the state have been at or near the replacement level of 2.1 children per woman for the past ten years. This overall stability in the total fertility rate hides an increase in birth rates for women in their 30s and 40s. Changes in the number of births in the near future will occur primarily as a result of changes in the number of women of childbearing age rather than dramatic changes in age-specific fertility.
