New York sees largest population decline of 50 states in 2023: census
Along with the 0.5% rate of population decline, New York also recorded the largest decline in pure numbers, with a drop of almost 102,000 residents, according to the U.S. Census.
New York lost more residents – and at the largest rate – in 2023 than any other state, despite an overall rise in the U.S. population, according to U.S. Census data.
The bureau released a map showing the percentage change in state populations between July 2022 and July 2023 – New York stands out as the only state colored a deep orange, a label for a percentage change of -0.5 or more.
Louis Rossmann would be proud.
I was wondering what would happen to gentrified neighborhoods once they ratched up the cost of living so high that the gentrifiers couldn't afford it.
I'm curious how many people are just leaving the US entirely. Technically this probably wouldn't represent it since expats are still counted as a resident of whatever state you lived in last untill you revoke your citizenship.
The social services and community involvement are better in Indiana than they were (and appear to still be, though I no longer have direct experience there) in WNY. Health insurance was better in NY, though. If I go back to die there, it will only be for the sake of nostalgia and not any belief that the remainder of my life would be better.
Room rents too high I guess.
I moved from Maryland to Western New York in 2023. Apparently me and my family weren't enough to move the needle.
Well duh they have to be quick. If they're not gonna steal the houses someone else will.
Watch Rossman Repair’s ordeal trying to rent a shop in NYC ultimately leaving the state.
That population loss, driven by the pandemic, effectively wiped out nearly three-quarters of the population gains made during the prior decade.
Pandemic hit the city hard and people do not want to go back for overpriced closets.
Huh. We've been considering moving to upstate NY from central CA, promarily due to ecological factors like climate, air quality, and what seems like the threat of eternal drought. I like central California well enough, but I'm dead sick of 117 degree Augusts and casually living with air quality that makes your eyes water.
Anyone got some insight on why NY lost so much population?
