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.
If the people equivalent to the entire population of Wyoming moved out of New York, most people wouldn’t notice.
In fairness Wyoming could disappear and nobody would realize until the military and the truckers pointed it out, and even then there’d be a delay
How do we even know it is there right now? We should create something like is-wyoming-still-there.com to keep an eye on it.
