San Diego got bigger and more diverse during the last decade, according to population estimates released by the U.S. Census Bureau Tuesday. Here are a few highlights from local and other reports that examined those trends more closely:
• San Diego County’s grew by 10 percent to 3.1 million residents between 2000 and 2010, which amounted to the smallest ever population increase by percent, the Union-Tribune reported, and mirrored statewide trends of slowing growth, the New York Times reported.
• California’s political landscape may shift toward more inland counties and minorities, the Los Angeles Times noted. For the first time, the majority of San Diego County’s population is not white, non-Hispanic residents, KPBS said.
• My favorite Census graphics so far were created by the U.S. Census Bureau, the U-T and the Los Angeles Times. The bureau compared population in California counties, the U-T examined growth in cities and the Times illustrated how population shifts may change California’s congressional districts and state legislative districts.
