Louisiana's the only southeastern state losing people. Not a good look.
Our previous governor had something in common with all of the other states with a losing population.

Could just be a pee stain?

Why would living in a state losing population be a concern to me?

Mississippi also lost people between 2020 and 2024 although their rate of loss hasn't been nearly as bad as Louisiana's. Here's the breakdown of population growth/loss % of each state as well as the southern states that share a border with either state and where their growth rates rank nationally:
4) Texas - +5.96% - 2024 population - 30,976,754
11) Tennessee - +4.01% - 2024 population - 7,202,004
16) Arkansas - +2.48% - 2024 population - 3,089,060
18) Alabama - +2.21% - 2024 population - 5,143,033
44) Mississippi - -0.61% - 2024 population - 2,940,452
48) Louisiana - -1.99% - 2024 population - 4,559,475

Texas and Tennessee have been leading growth states for many years now. Not sure what Arkansas and Alabama are doing right (relatively speaking) to attract new residents that Louisiana and Mississippi aren't though.
My hunch is that Arkansas and Alabama simply have natural resource advantages and at least a couple of rapidly growing metros in each state (the Fayetteville and Little Rock metros in Arkansas and the Huntsville and Daphne/Fairhope metros in Alabama) that neither Louisiana or Mississippi have to offset their losses. Both Arkansas and especially Alabama still have plenty of declining or stagnant metros in each respective state they're just apparently offset by the growth in the growing areas of each state unlike in Louisiana and Mississippi for some reason.

We should still at least find out how Mississippi looks by 2030 because the last census showed them losing population like Louisiana.

Louisiana doesn’t have beaches!

I wonder what the impact is from losing land and insurance premiums being higher than a giraffe's arse? I know that the "football field a minute" land loss is overblown and wasn't really land to begin with but some of the low lying areas that were inhabitable say in the 1950s are no longer habitable, right? Coupled with insurance rates that would bankrupt a third world nation and it makes sense that folks are leaving and doing so right fast.
