Populations for Florida, Texas and other Southern states continues to surge

Texas and Florida make up about 15% of the U.S. population but accounted for 70% of its population growth this past year. That’s one of the revealing facts in the Census Bureau’s annual assessment of U.S. migration released last week.
California (343,230), New York (299,557) and Illinois (141,656) lost the most residents to other states, but New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Oregon, Massachusetts, Minnesota and Louisiana were also big losers. Where are all these folks moving?
Mostly to states with lower taxes, more affordable housing and a higher standard of living. Florida drew the most newcomers (318,855), followed by Texas (230,961), North Carolina (99,796), South Carolina (84,030), Tennessee (81,646), Georgia (81,406) and Arizona (70,984). More people moved to West Virginia than left for the first time in a decade
Texas ranked first in overall population growth (470,708), followed by Florida (416,754), North Carolina (133,088), Georgia (124,847), Arizona (94,320), South Carolina (89,368), Tennessee (82,988), Washington (45,041), Utah (41,687) and Idaho (34,719).
One new trend is the migration from the Pacific Northwest. Between 2010 and 2020, Washington drew 371,258 newcomers from other states. This past year it lost 3,580, the first loss in a decade. But because of a big increase in foreign immigration, it still gained population.

Cost of living in heavily regulated areas continues to chase off the middle class.

We are booming. Turning Louisiana into a third world country is considered "Progress" by those who vote for the likes of JBE.

No one wants to move to Gordon-Land. The land of attorneys.

So when do they get more reps and when does California and NY lose their congressional seats?

Driving on I-75 through Ocala shows you all you need to know about the Florida population explosion. That’s the bottleneck. They can’t widen the roads fast enough.

The hipsters already infiltrated after Katrina and saved NOLA ...

I wonder what all these states minus Washington have in common…

Yall are more than welcome to take some of these migrants off our hands. Texas is full as far as I'm concerned.
