The US census bureau reports Florida Passes New York to Become the Nations Third Most Populous State
I added the dashed red line to show the stagnation in Illinois.
The Bureau Reports ....
By adding an average of 803 new residents each day between July 1, 2013 and July 1, 2014, Florida passed New York to become the nations third most populous state, according to U.S. Census Bureau state population estimates released today. Floridas population grew by 293,000 over this period, reaching 19.9 million. The population of New York increased by 51,000 to 19.7 million.Most Populous States
California remained the nations most populous state in 2014, with 38.8 million residents, followed by Texas, at 27.0 million. Although the list of the 10 most populous states overall was unchanged, two other states did change positions, as North Carolina moved past Michigan to take the ninth spot.
Another milestone took place in Georgia (ranked 8th), which saw its population surpass 10 million for the first time.
North Dakota was the nations fastest-growing state over the last year. Its population increased 2.2 percent, followed by the 1.7 percent growth in Nevada and Texas. Each of the 10 fastest-growing states was in the South or West with the exception of North Dakota.
Six states lost population between July 1, 2013, and July 1, 2014: Illinois (9,972 or -0.08 percent), West Virginia (3,269 or -0.18 percent), Connecticut (2,664 or -0.07 percent), New Mexico (1,323 or -0.06 percent, Alaska (527 or -0.07 percent) and Vermont (293 or -0.05 percent).
Is that the same US Census Bureau falsifying economic data, covering it up, silencing whistleblowers, and dodging FOIA obligations as documented by John Crudele?
Like the BLS, these cretins are happy to lay the thumb on the scale as needed by Democrats.
Florida did not become any larger and New Yorker did not become any smaller.
These headline writers should make it clear they are talking about population.
Texas is half Mexican. Florida is Cuban and Mexican.
New York is just a sad mix of all kinds of welfare wanna be's
And majority tard now
Lost cause
Houston will (fairly) soon leave it’s place as the 4th largest city, and will become 3rd, as Chicago slips to 4th.
Largest states California, Texas, Florida.
Largest cities, New York city, Los Angeles, Houston.
“California is half Mexican.
Texas is half Mexican. Florida is Cuban and Mexican.
New York is just a sad mix of all kinds of welfare wanna be’s”
Where all the white peoples at?
Really? Did FL annex part of GA, or AL, or MS? Or should "Largest" in the headline be "Most Populous"?
Work..........

I follow this population stuff and this is the first year I have ever seen more than two states fall in population. Also surprising is with so many states falling, none of them are Maine, Rhode Island or Michigan. The most surprising on the list is New Mexico.
They put this info out two days before Christmas and it seems to have gotten lost in the Christmas shuffle to be reported on the last Friday of the year.
I beg to differ. Florida is half Northeast Socialist and a quarter Cuban/Mexican.
Isn’t that obvious?
ALL RIGHT, EVERYBODY! BACK TO THE BEDROOM! NOW!
And those same liberal communists Democrats will vote the same damn way they did in coming elections, thus pissing on the states they moved to.
And while NY remains a blue state, Florida is at least competitive.
Too bad Florida is a purple state and can’t be counted on to vote for a conservative presidential candidate.
Does that account for “dual citizenship” with New York?
