New York sees largest population decline of 50 states in 2023: census
fox5ny.com
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.

Ahhh, I see you forgot about New Jersey…..more taxes and less liberties than New York.
And New Jersey even increased its population.
Yeah, all people from the city.
Yeah, I’d be curious what percentage dipped from the city and moved to the burbs in Jersey. Might be the big dip, would make sense also with it being a Covid hotspot a few years ago, but nevermind all that.
Compared to NYC, New Jersey is overall cheaper to live in. For the people who really need to live in the big apple but want to move out of its tax reach New Jersey is the best and only option they have.
