My god why can't they include a basic list of state populations. In the press conference, they're referring reporters to the public information office to dig those up. There should be an online list by now.
Illinois only lost 18k people. It’s not great the state lost population but that’s way better than the 200k loss that was estimated. No big surprises on seat changes but the population numbers are interesting.
And probably most of them conservative loudmouths. The type that belly ache about FOID cards and being "taxed to death by Chicago" even though that isn't true at all. Good riddance dipshits. Enjoy Indiana LOL
Speaking of Indiana, they had some impressive growth (~300k). I’m excited to see city-level data.
Notice where the estimates were worst and best in recent years? The annual estimates have always been highly politicized relative to the decennial counts. CA, NY, NJ, CT, IL, MA all drastically undercounted in recent annual estimates. Wonder why? NY & NJ were actually absurdly undercounted.
NY State would have lost no seats if the count were 89 higher. Literally 89 people away from an additional seat. That's pretty good, considering NY State lost two seats every decade since WW2.
