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.

    Virginia? Vermont also has a lot of freedom with guns and weed if that’s your thing but there aren’t many jobs.

      Virginia?! The freedom part sounds nice but you’re still in Virginia, lol

      Vermont? Too cold, plus no jobs like you said

      Guess I’m gonna have to make some sacrifices in order to have it all. Freedom isn’t free, right? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

        What’s wrong with VA? Northern VA is one of the best places to live on the planet. High pay with low taxes, lower COL than NYC or SF but similar quality of life. Charlottesville is also really nice.

          He just wanted to go, “welp guess there really is nowhere might as well live in the urban hell hole with high taxes and politicians that do nothing.”

            No, I’d prefer to settle in a village where they’re still bitter about losing the civil war lol
