Jeeze, this year's loss in Michigan has nearly wiped out our extremely modest early-decade gains. Though, as demographers up here have said, it's amazing it wasn't an even larger loss. What seems to really be killing us is that immigration has slowed way down. We've been losing to outmigration, forever, but it was usually offset by relatively healthy levels of immigration. It's going to be really tough to see us fall back undere the 10 million mark, which is a huge psychological mark. This is turning out to be another 80's, for us, where we registered 0% growth.
I was surprised to see how Georgia slowed and quite a few others. North Carolina's gains are just ridiculous. Apparently, only 13% of Americans moved in the time period covered, which is supposedly the lowest figure in decades, or something.
