The United States Census Bureau released data on Thursday revealing the states that experienced both population growth and decline.
According to a press release, Texas was the largest-gaining state in the U.S., surpassing the 30 million population mark due to net domestic migration, net international migration, and natural increase. Meanwhile, Florida’s 1.9 percent population increase made it the fastest-growing state in the nation.
In terms of population decline, Census Bureau data show 18 states experienced a decline, with California topping the list. The single biggest factor in this population decline was because of “domestic outmigration.”
Florida was the fastest-growing state in 2022, with an annual population increase of 1.9%, resulting in a total resident population of 22,244,823.
“While Florida has often been among the largest-gaining states,” Wilder noted, “this was the first time since 1957 that Florida has been the state with the largest percent increase in population.”
It was also the second largest-gaining state behind Texas, with an increase of 416,754 residents. Net migration was the largest contributing component of change to Florida’s growth, adding 444,484 residents. New York had the largest annual numeric and percent population decline, decreasing by 180,341 (-0.9%). Net domestic migration (-299,557) was the largest contributing component to the state’s population decline.
Eighteen states experienced a population decline in 2022, compared to 15 and DC the prior year. California, with a population of 39,029,342, and Illinois, with a population of 12,582,032, also had six-figure decreases in resident population. Both states’ declining populations were largely due to net domestic outmigration, totaling 343,230 and 141,656, respectively. (U.S. Census Bureau)
Earlier this year, California Gov. Gavin Newsom tried to convince freedom-loving Floridians to move to his state. The numbers now confirm his PR stunt failed.
We’re about to celebrate Independence Day -- but Freedom is under attack by Republican leaders in states like Florida.
Banning books.
Restricting speech.
Making it harder to vote.
Criminalizing women and doctors.
It’s time to stand up. Don’t let them take your freedom. pic.twitter.com/cFI5UzgZzX— Gavin Newsom (@GavinNewsom) July 3, 2022
All this global warming makes me want to move to Florida. From NC.
Is the California number NET, after a million illegals move IN?
I’m shocked, shocked...just like Captain Renault!
But lost one electoral college vote???
Lets hope DeSantis plasters the POS Newsome on this. Newsome- always the smart a$$
Almost certainly not.
Even with a highly sophisticated intelligence capability that would have electronic eyes on every foot of the out-of-control U.S borders, there is no way to calculate how many have crossed or which state they finally land in.
Nor would it seem possible to calculate the actual growth of that community due to subsequent births.
The long march of the Obama-Biden anti-MAGA Left "reorganization" is progressing very well.
Gavin Newsom is as pathetic as his soy boy counterpart in Canada, Trudeau.
Ten thousand leeches don't equal one solid, healthy horse. Quite the opposite, in fact.
