Solution

To answer this question, we need to verify each statement one by one:

  1. "The majority of California residents are Latino." - This statement is true. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, as of July 1, 2020, Latinos make up the largest ethnic group in California.

  2. "More than 1/2 of the state's foreign-born population are U.S. citizens." - This statement is also true. According to the American Immigration Council, as of 2018, 52% of immigrants in California are naturalized U.S. citizens.

  3. "As a result of its population loss, California has one less seat in the U.S. Congress than in the previous decade." - This statement is true. Due to population shifts recorded in the 2020 Census, California lost one congressional seat.

  4. "The number of residents moving to other states from California reached its highest level ever during the pandemic." - This statement is not necessarily true. While it is true that many people have left California during the pandemic, it is not clear that this is the highest level ever. The U.S. Census Bureau does not provide real-time data, so it's hard to confirm this statement.

So, the statement that is not necessarily true is: "The number of residents moving to other states from California reached its highest level ever during the pandemic."
