Talk:California City, California

message: I added a history section to this article as well as some references, links, and other information.  I removed the stub tag, as the article seems fairly complete for such a small city.  In the demographics section, an anonymous user had changed the population to 9,098, which contradicts the first sentence of the article and the data that I could find on the Census Bureau site, so I changed the population back to 8,385.  If someone thinks the 2000 Census population was 9,098, please provide your source or explain your reasoning here before changing it back. PubliusFL 19:16, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I *did* live in Cal City for a few years. Just down Neuralia from the shopping center with the grocery store. 3% of the population (which would be something like 5% of the workforce) is pretty significant for a single employer.  And "much of the city's workforce" referred to the prison and Edwards AFB *together*. Surely that is indisputable.  The prison must be the largest employer located *in* Cal City, eh?

A review of the editing history shows the history section was first begun with this edit on 3 September 2006. Archives of the califcity.com website show that section didn't appear until 3 February 2007. The califcity.com website copied the text from the Wikipedia article. I have removed the Copyvio template.  — CactusWriter | needles 15:15, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

message: According to the lede: "Year-round temperatures range from about 33 °F (1 °C) to about 118 °F (48 °C)." But the table in the Climate section shows that 33 degrees is the **average** December low, while 118 degrees must be the all-time record summer high, as the July average high is only 97 degrees. It might be better not to mix apples and oranges in the same sentence. For now I've changed the sentence to reflect typical temperatures, not the extremes. Record low and high could be put in the Climate section, if someone has reliable data. Piperh (talk) 21:18, 9 December 2013 (UTC)

message: In the top 10 list, California City along with other California desert towns (Adelanto, Apple Valley, Cathedral City, Coachella, Desert Hot Springs, Hesperia, Indio-fastest in Eastern Riverside County, Lancaster, Palmdale and Victorville-fastest in Southern California) have 50-100% growth rates in the past decade (since 2010). These are popular real estate bargains and have lower cost housing than the coastal urban areas.  And all have large Hispanic/Latino pluralities or majorities, esp. from massive immigration and relocation from Central L.A. to the suburbs. 2605:E000:100D:E482:E41A:DD9:EED0:F58 (talk) 17:25, 18 October 2019 (UTC)

message: The article (currently) says it is abbreviated Cal City. I searched Google for Cal City and got 218,000 results. I then searched for Calif City and got 200,000 results (and Google recognized that as an abbreviation for California City). So if Cal City is an official abbreviation then there should be an authority cited for that. Otherwise the abbreviation seems to be a matter of personal preference.

message: City of California City sure appears to be the official website so I added it. I hope that is correct. Sam Tomato (talk) 00:15, 1 August 2022 (UTC)

message: Population:  The Latin/Hispanic origin #'s are apparently counted as 'white' in the wikipedia population segment. For some reason, they have the 'White/Caucasian' as 61% and then if you add all other ethnicities listed, you will get a total that is over 100%.  Therefore, you must deduct the Latin/Hispanic percentage from the White/Caucasian percentage.  I am not sure why this was done and I do hope that it was a simple error rather than an attempt to make the city appear more 'white' in this current MAGA environment we are living through.
