Colorado will probably pass Minnesota, and maybe Wisconsin too, by the next census.

Pain continues for the Rust Belt. If these numbers are even close, it seems the Great Recession has had less lasting effect on growth patterns than a lot of us thought.
I don't think those numbers are necessarily accurate... using projections based on the past decade is kind of silly when the country has seen a massive shift in migration/growth patterns since the Great Recession.
