<P> The U.S. 1850 California Census asks state of birth of all residents and finds about 7300 residents that were born in California . The San Francisco , Contra Costa and Santa Clara county U.S. censuses were lost or burned in one of San Francisco 's many fires . Adding the approximate 200 Hispanics in San Francisco ( 1846 directory ) and an unknown ( but small as shown in 1852 CA Census recount ) number of Hispanics in Contra Costa and Santa Clara county in 1846 gives less than 8,000 Hispanics statewide in 1846 before hostilities commenced . The number of California Indians is unknown since they were not included in the 1850 census but has been roughly estimated to be between 50,000 and 150,000 . </P>
