https://www.census.gov/newsroom/pres...tes-idaho.html
DEC. 20, 2017 — Idaho was the nation’s fastest-growing state over the last year. Its population increased 2.2 percent to 1.7 million from July 1, 2016, to July 1, 2017, according to the U.S. Census Bureau’s national and state population estimates released today. Following Idaho for the largest percentage increases in population were: Nevada (2.0 percent), Utah (1.9 percent), Washington (1.7 percent), and Florida along with Arizona (1.6 percent). “Domestic migration drove change in the two fastest-growing states, Idaho and Nevada, while an excess of births over deaths played a major part in the growth of the third fastest-growing state, Utah,” said Luke Rogers, Chief of the Population Estimates Branch.

Top numerical gains:
1) Texas 2) Florida 3) California 4) Washington 5) North Carolina 6) Georgia 7) Arizona 8) Colorado 9) Tennessee 10) South Carolina Illinois had the largest decline. |
You can see the strength of manufacturing in the latest numbers. Ohio and Michigan had impressive growth for Midwest standards.
States with population losses are scattered throughout. Louisiana, Mississippi, West Virginia, Illinois, Wyoming, Hawaii, North Dakota, Alaska, all had population losses. |

Change by region:
South +1235k West: +766k Midwest: +201k Northeast: +111k A little surprised the Midwest grew by more than the Northeast. |
In the South there's an interesting trend to take note of.
MS, LA are declining. AL has low growth. And then you have GA, NC, SC, FL, TN and TX with high numerical gains. |

If you compare "Northeast Corridor" to Midwest, the corridor would have faster growth. |

Northeast: -313,643 Midwest: -156,897 South: 356,884 West: 113,656 |
West Virginia and Maine have negative replacement rates - deaths greater than births. Pennsylvania, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Florida are all positive but not by much.
At the other end of the spectrum, Utah has 3.1 births for each death. Alaska is at 2.5, Texas at 2.1. The Mormons are multiplying, ahhhh. |

FL and NC should actually counted under NY since they are mostly made up of NY'ers at this point.

This is before the hurricane and Peurto Rico is still in free fall, the current numbers must be brutal.
Also, why is Hawaii losing? |

Spent two work weeks in suburban Raleigh this fall, and I swear it's like Long Island relocated to this town called Cary. It's dirt-cheap for NE corridor standards, rather pretty, and tons of high paying tech jobs in companies like SAS. But you have to like brand-new sprawl; there's nothing remotely urban or old. Not sure if I heard a Southern accent on a white person in two weeks, but I heard NY, Philly and Boston accents. I barely hear NY accents anymore in NY. Probably have to head to FL or NC in the future if you want to hear old-school Brooklynese. |

atlantic coast florida if filled with northeasterners, but gulf coast florida is loaded with folks from ohio, michigan, illinois, etc. every former chicagolander that i've known who has moved to florida (relatives and friend's retiring parents) has moved to gulf coast florida 9 times out of 10. |

Naples is almost entirely Illinois/Michigan/Ohio folks. Most of my parents friends have a place in Naples, and some have relocated year-round. Older people in affluent Midwest suburbia LOVE Naples. |
^ A lot of "us" on the Gulf side too. I have a niece and cousin in around the Tampa/St. Pete area. Step-mothers parents lived Ocala.

Of note, this estimate puts Arizona over 7,000,000 for the first time.
