I don’t recall Tippecanoe County ever declining during this period, maybe it did during COVID?

Oregon’s population seems to be rebounding. It gained a electoral vote in 2020, but early covid population trends suggested it could lose a seat in 2030. Hopefully the population is stabilizing.

Louisiana’s population continues to hemorrhage. There’s one county that grew in the north west corner, but that’s bossier parish and it only grew from people leaving the majority black caddo parish. There seems to be growth around Baton Rouge, possibly from people relocating out of New Orleans. The state needs a lot of help but I’m afraid the state government wants to continue the same policies of cutting taxes and deregulation. I’ll be curious to see if Mike Johnson brings any money to northern Louisiana since he’s now the speaker of the house and that’s his district.

Sacramento County (my home) grew a little bit!

It’s really really hard to discern the different shades of blue. The highest shade of blue needs to be much darker in order to provide more opportunity for differentiation between the shades/bands of blue.
And the 1-3% and 3-5% bands (in both red and blue) are nearly identical.

10.90% for Idaho is incredible. Is there any particular reason for that?
I have honestly never heard much about it aside from Potatoes and Napoleon Dynamite.

Why is southern Texas losing population?

Alabama’s a sleeper state, but I wouldn’t put the growth rate as above North Carolina; the rate is more a result of systematic underestimating the population that only gets corrected during censuses. Fort Payne was the only statistical area primarily in the state that underperformed in 2020 population estimates compared to the census results. Fort Payne is the most Hispanic area in the state, so that can be explained by undercounting of that population. This level of underestimation didn’t occur in any other state.

That tracks for Massachusetts.
Boston’s cost of living is out of hand so people are moving to other areas of the state.
I know several people who have done just that.

The west and south sides of the Oklahoma City metro area have become crazy lately. They can’t build schools fast enough, and it seems like every week there’s yet another apartment mega complex going up near the outer loop turnpikes. I have no clue where these people are working.

West Texas is interesting to me. Whenever you hear about Texas population trends it’s always positive and about growth. I wonder what the mood is in west Texas.

I wonder if the next 5 to 10 years will show a shift to the north because the south becoming too hot and too much storm damage to easily afford home insurance.

I find the New England states surprising. Would have assumed way more population loss.
Let’s hope this trend continues so I can afford to buy a house in San Diego

It’s interesting to observe changes along state boundaries. For example, why is upstate NY losing people but the counties just across the border in Vermont gaining them? Why does eastern Ohio attract (or not lose) people but western PA counties do?
