They also wrote that \u201ccontinuing federal delays in processing foreign migration\u201d impacted overall growth.<\/p>\n<p>According to the report, 34 of 58 California counties saw population losses, with the top three largest percent losses occurring in Plumas (-3.2%), Lassen (-2.8%) and Butte (-2.4%). The state\u2019s three most populous counties also saw population losses, with Los Angeles County seeing a decrease of 70,114 individuals, San Diego County down 1,197 individuals and Orange County by 7,297 individuals.<\/p>\n<p>Every coastal county also saw declines except for San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara and Santa Cruz, though officials said that is due in part to college students returning to campus.<\/p>\n<p>Six out of 10 of California\u2019s largest cities saw population losses, with San Jose (-1.5%), Oakland (-1.3%) and Anaheim (-1%) seeing declines of 1% or more. Bakersfield saw the largest percentage gain at 0.7%, followed by San Diego with a 0.2% increase.<\/p>\n<p>Yolo County saw a 1.8% population increase due to greater numbers of college dorms, and San Benito County saw a 1.1% increase due to \u201chousing gains,\u201d the report states.
