The Bay Area and California as a whole endured yet another population decline in 2022, and the dip may mean San Jose can no longer crow about being the 10th largest city in the country.

The population of the nine-county region, which is home to about 7.55 million residents, dwindled by 0.4% — just shy of 34,000 residents, about the size of Pleasant Hill — between January 2022 and 2023 compared with 0.7% the previous year, according to estimates from the state Finance Department.
