Fastest Growing States (2021)

[sword_]

We were talking about places to live on here earlier and I thought these stats were interesting. I expected Texas to be up there and maybe Utah but not Idaho and others but a growing tech sector in all those states are appealing to people. Especially coming from California.



Meanwhile some states took some L's

Fastest-Growing States in the U.S.
1. Idaho
Idaho had a population growth of 2.12%, growing from 1,789,060 to 1,826,913. People from all over the U.S. are being drawn to Idaho for its affordability and the strong job market. Additionally, Boise has a rapidly growing tech sector. Many people migrating to Idaho are from California, most likely due to its affordability (especially compared to California) and a much lower population density. Despite the state's rapid growth, it is the 12th-smallest state in the U.S.

2. Arizona
Arizona is the second-fastest growing state with a percent growth of 1.78%. Arizona’s population increased by 129,558 from 7,291,843 in 2019 to 7,421,401 in 2020. Arizona is attractive because of its sunny weather, good job market, affordability, and a wide variety of entertainment options such as festivals, museums, celebrity-owned restaurants, and more. Arizona also has the Grand Canyon. Arizona is considered one of the states with the best weather.

3. Nevada
Nevada is the third-fastest growing state in the United States. Between 2019 and 2020, Nevada’s population increased 1.54% from 3,090,771 to 3,138,259. A majority of new residents migrated from California, followed by Texas, Arizona, and other western states. Unsurprisingly, real estate rental and leasing was the fastest growing industry in the states by total economic output due to the growing demand for housing. Additionally, this has led to growing home prices, with the average home value currently around $307,360.

4. Utah
Utah is the fourth-fastest growing state with a percent growth of 1.45%, growing from 3,203,383 to 3,249,879, a growth of 46,496 people. Unlike other rapidly-growing states, the high birth rate of 14.9 per 100,000 accounted for most of the population growth in Utah rather than people migrating from other states. About 62% of Utah residents are Mormon, who have an average of 3.4 children compared to 2.1 children among all American adults.

5. Texas
Texas grew 1.29% from 2019 to 2020. Its current population is 29,360,759, a growth of 373,965 from 2019. This means that Texas's population grows by over 1,000 people per day. Texas has the fifth-highest birth rate in the U.S. of 13.2 births per 100,000 people. However, only 40% of its population growth is attributed to natural increases, while 60% is due to net migration. Recently, international migration has exceeded domestic migration, with an increase in migration from Asian countries, especially China and India.

**** off, we're full. Just LOL @ drawn here because of our "affordability"

Yeah, maybe if you sell your million dollar house in the bay area and move here with a truckload of cash.

California is like a rotting, bloated corpse lying in a small pond. It corrupts everything around it.

Cali people have figured out Idaho for a while. Boise has seen housing prices like triple. Absolutely beautiful country with good laws. They're also getting refuges from Oregon and Washington, which nobody else is.

[tk217]

Problem with Idaho is there is literally only 1 city.

Everywhere else is bombing areas and federal owned land.

Arizona #3 feels good mane

I could see people coming from Oregon and Washington due to proximity. Didn't know much about Californians moving.

Are there tech jobs there or something?

Then vote for the same policies that they were escaping (the end results of) from.

[Muzzlrpress]

F*ck off we're full

[GainzMcgee]

I can see Floridas growth slowing after the Boomers have started dying and have all retired. For some reason millenials dont really like FL as much as boomers.

[dogorman7]

Misc ****s on me all the time for actually liking Western Washington/PNW but if it’s such a ****hole why do so many relocate there ? I’ll wait........

[Lefticle]

Hopefully all the californians don't rape these states like they raped colorado.

Is it the red Californians fleeing?

[frankdtank20]

Congratulations New Jersey for losing less people than normal. I've seen less NJ plates all over the place here in NC. Glad less of them traveled down here in 2021. That way they weren't spreading Covid like wildfire the way they did last spring.

[darkninja67]

Does anyone know what happens when a place/state becomes more densely populated??

Is it the red Californians fleeing?

there are only blue Californians

[TBO1313]

LMFAO! If only... They say they're different from the "bad" Californians yet everywhere they go it magically starts to turn like the place they left. I think its some type of pysop at this point.

That's why people love it. We have endless public lands which is my playground.

[Vexidi]

Godamn Californians running from the mess they've made so they can fuk up somewhere else just as bad.

[GuineaDago585]

OP your data is wrong. The 2020 Census results are coming out now. The estimates you cited are close, but, for example, the official count for New York had almost 1 million more people than expected. This is a 4.25% increase rather than the estimated 1.18% decrease.

This. Ppl moving from California to red states are ppl who couldn't hack it in California srs -- has almost nothing to do with politics. So instead of just getting normal democrats, the surrounding red states get THE WORST of the democrats. If you don't believe me just talk to anyone from AZ who is not native. Absolute garbage humans.
