If the current population trends continue, California will fall behind Texas as the most populous state in the union by 2040.
According to a recent study by the Brennan Center, it was discovered that California is losing hundreds of people annually.
They said the state could lose up to four representatives in the 2030 census. The same poll also stated that Texas would gain four.
If those trends were to continue into the following decade, Texas would become the most populous and represented state by 2040.
Currently, Texas has over 30 million civilians. The only state that has a bigger population is The Golden State. California has over 38 million residents.

According to the Brennan Center study, the main reason for California’s population decline is the high cost of living. With skyrocketing housing prices, many residents are finding it difficult to afford a home in the state. This has led to a trend of Californians moving to more affordable states, with Texas being a popular destination.
Texas, on the other hand, has seen significant population growth in recent years. The state has a strong economy, a lower cost of living, and a business-friendly environment, which has attracted many new residents and businesses. This trend is expected to continue in the coming years, pushing Texas ahead of California in terms of population.
The implications of this population shift are significant. As the most populous state, Texas would have more representation in the U.S. House of Representatives. This could potentially shift the balance of power and influence in Congress, as well as impact federal funding allocations.
Furthermore, the increase in population would also have economic implications. Texas would see a boost in consumer spending, job creation, and tax revenue. The state’s growing population would provide opportunities for businesses and stimulate economic growth.
However, there are also challenges that come with rapid population growth. The increase in demand for housing, transportation, and infrastructure could put strain on existing resources and services. Texas would need to invest in infrastructure projects to accommodate the growing population and ensure they have access to essential services.
In conclusion, if current population trends continue, Texas is on track to surpass California as the most populous state in the union by 2040. This shift in population would have significant implications for representation, federal funding, and the economy. It is crucial for policymakers to be aware of these trends and plan for the future to ensure the continued success and prosperity of both states.
