Not only do the residents of Malibu do an amazing job of keeping the general public off their public-access beaches, they also seem to have a knack for crafting ordinances and environmental regulations that keep outsiders from moving in. In 2000, Malibu had a population of 12,575. By 2010, the population had grown by a mere 0.55% to 12,645. Compare that to the entire state of California, which during the same period grew over 10% and added 3.5 million residents.
