How many cars are in California?
Traffic in California is the worst. It doesn’t even matter where you go. I know that part of the issue is the 50 million people that live here, but it also feels like there are 50 million cars. How many cars are there in California?

California
has almost 40 million residents, so traffic is seemingly everywhere. According to U.S. Census Bureau data, there are 31 million cars in California legally registered to be on the road—which is more than any other state.Because of this, you shouldn’t be surprised that CA also has the most congested roadways in the country. To compound the traffic issue even further, the state is home to nine of the top 50 worst cities for traffic:
- Los Angeles
- San Francisco
- San Jose
- San Diego
- Riverside
- Sacramento
- Fresno
- Bakersfield
- Oxnard/Thousand Oaks/Ventura
Due to the sheer number of other motorists, upping your car insurance coverage limits or adding
collision or comprehensive insurance
is a savvy move. But before you drop tons of money on a policy, use the Jerry
app to shop around for the best rate.Jerry is a licensed broker and insurance comparison tool that collects quotes from over 50 top-rated insurers in minutes. After you find a great rate, Jerry can help you buy new insurance and cancel your old policy. Users save an average of nearly $900 per year.
