New U.S. Census data released Thursday shows several California counties topping the list of regions that saw the biggest drop in population during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Between 2020 and 2021, a total of 116,385 residents moved out of the Bay Area, which includes San Francisco, Oakland and Berkeley, according to the Census data.
The Census also looked at the U.S. counties that saw significant population decreases between April 1, 2020 and July 1, 2021, coinciding with the start of the pandemic.
The only county higher than San Francisco was New York County, which saw a decline of 6.9%, or about 117,000 people. And though Los Angeles County lost the highest number of residents among U.S. regions, with a population of more than nine million, the percentage is much smaller. As for the U.S. region that saw the biggest population growth from 2020 to 2021 -- that recognition, unsurprisingly, goes to the Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington region of Texas, which saw a spike of more than 97,000 residents.
