LA (and many other metros) won't start growing again until 2029. Most metros need immigration for growth, and there likely won't be any until 2029.

Not as much though, fires absolutely had an impact. LA County would have still declined from lower immigration, but closer to -20~30K in line with other places instead. We dont have precise data of course, but considering how the Census Bureau does their estimates, I wouldn't be surprised if they accounted for housing units destroyed by the fire
