Last year, it was revealed that California's population fell for the first time in the state's history. Officials contributed declining births, increasing deaths in the Baby Boomer population, the pandemic, and a crackdown on immigration to the historic dip. From 2019 to 2020, the U.S. population grew by .35%, its slowest rate since 1900.

However, certain pockets of the country are growing and Stacker compiled a list of the fastest-growing counties in California. To determine this, they used data from the U.S. Census Bureau and ranked counties with the highest population growth from 2010 to 2020.
