This is a view of the ACS 5-year data of California's population distribution and general demographic data. This map is by county, showing general demographic data from 2022. The coastline as well as the large cities in the state are the most dense in population. The most populated cities in California are San Francisco, Sacramento, and Los Angeles. The rest of the state had significantly less population density, especially the areas farthest away from the coast. I think the main draw of California are the cities and the coast, explaining why the rest of California isn't as heavily populated.

I agree that the draw of California is mostly for the beachy areas along the coast. I wonder what the other counties' populations are. I wonder if those places are also densely populated, but not to the extent that the big-name counties/cities are. I also think that California is most likely to stay Democratic for this year's election because there is a precedent and a large liberal community in the big cities of California.
California's big coastline cities seem to be what most people think of when they think of California and what is most often seen in media like TV and movies. It makes me wonder what life is like in the more sparsely populated areas. California is also a very blue state, and I wonder if its high cost of living has influenced that, since I would image it has caused poorer living conditions for some.
