    it would be interesting to see how this changes the percentages of total population in each state and in each region, and their rankings.

    for instance the Northeast grew the least, but the Northeast already had a huge amount of people, so how does it overall proportion change with respect to the other regions? 

    and then the same analysis for each state. California lost people, but it has about 40 million people, so that’s probably not changing things much. whereas a 10% gain for Idaho might make it jump up the ranking of states by population.

    So is this real? why would anyone move to Idaho, Utah, Florida, and Texas during this period while they were stealing rights. Looks so messed up, right? Can someone with real logic explain why anyone would move to Idaho?

    Would be interesting to try to put the state income tax rate and see if there s correlation.

  4. Illinois, New York, and California all got affected by COVID making people with really high cost of living and jobs that went remote decide to move out of big, really, really , really expensive cities.

    Californians get really defensive about this but the state is squeezing out the middle class.

    Any particular reasons why Mississippi, Louisiana and West Virginia saw population decline during this time?

  7. I get most of these except Delaware, esp since everything around it is flat or negative.

  8. Interesting to be able to geographically visualize the US’ rightward political shift.

  9. I know some absent midned right-winger is gonna say some funny stuff like “You see Liberalll states are baaad”

    I remember reading that Maga has been encouraging voters to move to Idaho. Guess it’s working.

  11. I’m genuinely surprised by Texas’ growth, knowing how hostile the state has been to women and minorities. Not to mention living in a literal oven for over half the year. Or maybe the influx is from people happy that’s happening?

    Louisiana is just depressing to live in. This place is kinda the Siberia of the USA.

  13. Who is downvoting everyone’s mundane comments/questions? Why does that always happen on this sub? It’s so unnecessary.

  14. What’s going on in Idaho attracting people? I genuinely don’t know. Also, some of these are just crazy. Nevada, Arizona, and Florida will become increasingly uninhabitable due to climate change worsening.

  15. In before Redditors claim this isn’t true and the rust belt states are “growing fast” and “lots of young people migrating here”

  16. A think a lot of Maine’s gains were from Covid flight in New England when people were fleeing to rural areas.
