New York state lost more residents last year than any other state in the U.S.
Newly reported data from the U.S. Census Bureau places New York at the top of the list of just nine states that lost residents between 2017 and 2018.
New York lost 48,510 people while Illinois was close with a drop of 45,116 residents.
New York is the fourth most populous state in the country, trailing only California, Texas and Florida. As a percentage of total population, New York’s 0.25 percent loss was less significant than that of West Virginia, Illinois, Alaska and Hawaii.
But the latest Census report marks the third straight year New York has lost population, as the overall population in the country grows.
The Census report found that Nevada and Idaho had the largest percentage increases in population over the past year. Texas’ overall population grew the most, by 379,128 people in the last year.

What would New York’s population be if you didn’t include the illegals?
In 1960, NY was the most populous state. After 2020, it will be the fourth.
Very many upstate NY towns had peak population back in the 1960s
Some peaked around 1900!
Without NY City and a couple other large democrat plantations the state would probably become red and vote the democrats out.
Double down on socialism, that should fix it. /sarc
I think that has been their MO since the 1860s.
Liberal state AND cities lose population while red states and cities gain...
Voting with your feet.
Problem is, these idiots move from these hellholes to red states and start voting for the same crap that caused them to leave in the first place.
Yes that’s true. I live in Ft. Bend county, Texas. A former Republican stronghold. We barely got Sen. Ted Cruz re-elected over the “fake Mexican Beto O’Roake”. We lost every Republican Judge. Lot’s of people wear I “heart” New York. That just makes me want to spit.
i was in Manhattan on buisness. I had time the next morning before heading to the airport for an afternoon flight so i took the train into Jamica Queens.
I think that many people think that Queens is the working class neighbourhood from the TV show. It has changed into a immigrant (legal and illegal) area - and almost its own different city.
TOP FIVE COMMENTS MADE BY ESCAPEES FROM NEW YORK
(fill in the blank)(fill in the blank)Atlanta has a new apartment complex opening every week. Go through the parking garage. It is almost all rust belt licenses plates in the new apartment buildings. Look at the window decals and bumper stickers.
These people are not from NYC. They are from Rochester, Buffalo and Akron, Toledo, Flint, Detroit Chicago.
What is amazing is that most of them do not wonder why there are no jobs in rust belt cities and there are jobs in Red states TN, NC, GA, FL, TX.
Even more amazing is that Republicans, Conservatives, AFP, Tea Party, Heritage, etal are not asking these people to think about why there is a job difference.
Meanwhile, Sacramento CA, of all places, is the number one growth city in the nation.

More one-way rentals to Sacramento than any other city in America.
I do, but party affiliation is alot like religion, i.e. most folks vote Dem becase their parents did and that is all they care about.
“Liberal state AND cities lose population while red states and cities gain...”
See post number 16.
The New York State used to be controlled by Republicans. They were at least a speed bump to slow down "Progressive" policies. Now, that speed bump has been removed, and Andrew Cuomo intends to put the pedal to the metal.
