For the fourth year in a row, California experiences population growth that exceeds the half-million mark.
"California grew by almost 600,000 people last year, the fourth year in a row that annual population growth has exceeded the half-million mark, according to state demographers... In an annual head count conducted by the state Department of Finance and scheduled for release today, officials cited natural births and immigration as significant factors in the state's robust growth. Already the most populous state in the nation, California grew by 591,000 people in 2002, bringing its total population to 35,591,000, the report said. Also, in keeping with past counts, Los Angeles, Riverside and San Diego counties led the population increase."
