Demographic Information


POPULATION
 California's population is expected to reach 37,870,000 on July 1, 2007 and over the budget year is expected to increase by 456,000 residents to reach 38,326,000 on July 1, 2008. This growth of nearly half a million Californians will be made up of 315,000 more births than deaths and 141,000 more people moving to California from other states and nations than are leaving California. Because both components of population change have slowed, the July 1, 2008 population projection is one-tenth of one percent, or 44,000 lower than projected in the Governor's Budget. These estimates are used in projecting the State Appropriations Limit, the Proposition 98 growth factor, and are reflected in many caseload estimates.


AVERAGE DAILY ATTENDANCE
 Average Daily Attendance (ADA) in school districts, including summer school, is expected to drop from 6,203,294 in school year 2006-07 to 5,993,301 in school year 2007-08. ADA is up two-tenths of one percent from the projection in the Governor's Budget. This slight upward revision was caused by offsetting trends in enrollment and attendance. Although enrollment was slightly lower than projected in the Governor's Budget, attendance reported in the beginning of the school year came in slightly higher than projected. ADA for Proposition 98 purposes includes students served by county offices of education but excludes summer school and is reported in the Education section.
