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.
Really? Did FL annex part of GA, or AL, or MS? Or should "Largest" in the headline be "Most Populous"?
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).
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.
ALL RIGHT, EVERYBODY! BACK TO THE BEDROOM! NOW!
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?
From the orginal story: “Illinois could easily drop to 6th or even 8th, and probably will do so over the course of the next few years.”
I have to disagree with that assessment. The two state behind them are Pennsylvania and Ohio. While Illinois did lose population, Pennsylvania only gained 5,000 people and Ohio is 1.3 million behind in size.
The problem is, all these Damn Yankees are moving to Flori-Duh, and bringing the politics that ruined their home states with them.
Cf. South Flori-Duh and all the LIEberal Democrats that get elected down there, and also cf. how tight the battles are between us good conservative Southren Ladies and Gentlemen and them Damn Yankee LIEberals!
Flori-Duh should not be a Blue state, but it certainly is competitive when it should be a slam-dunk Red State!
Don’t get me wrong — we welcome all y’all — just leave your LIEberal politics up Nawth!
Unfortunately, Florida is infested with ex NYers and ex NJers.
Florida also has a huge uptick in illegal immigrants aka ‘documented workers’ from across the border...and Cubans are still coming on boats too.
Retirees come weekly, just wonder how long they can entertain such numbers...it is a hot place, and not for me.
