California gained 348,000 residents in 2015, bringing its population to 39.3 million, the state Department of Finance’s demographers reported Monday.

The annual growth rate, just under 1 percent, follows a recent pattern and is less than half of what it was during the state’s most recent population boom in the 1980s. It indicates that California will hit 40 million in about three years.

Three-fourths of the state’s growth is so-called “natural increase” – the difference between births and deaths....

The remainder of 2015’s population growth, about 100,000, is net migration –the difference between people moving in and moving out. While the state continues to see an inflow of immigrants from other countries, legal and illegal, it loses more people to other states than it gains.

heard in the primary.
