re: Map of population changes across the US

This map is better. Shows exactly where the changes are happening



Shows how “Texas is booming” can kinda be misleading. The entire western part of Texas is dying

But look at Florida, almost the entire state is actually booming, but idaho is the clear winner. The entire state in all areas, city and rural, are growing.

And on the opposite end, all of Louisiana is shrinking, where as California the rural areas are staying the same, while the cities are experiencing flight

ETA: Texas is actually kinda sad. “Texas” is dying. The Houston/Dallas megaplex of all business no identity is thriving

ETA 2: el paso growing dark green
