This state map shows immigration as a share of population growth from 2021-2025. In 7 states, there was aggregate population loss in this period, so no share is reported. For the remaining states, the share varies widely, from less than 25% to 100% (where immigration outpaces total population growth). States in which immigration is a lower share of their population growth are largely in the Sunbelt and Mountain West. States in which immigration is a higher share or outpaces their growth are concentrated in the Northeast, Midwest, and Pacific Northwest.
How important has immigration been for recent state population growth? My new @harvard-jchs.bsky.social blog post has an interactive state map exploring this question: www.jchs.harvard.edu/blog/populat.... The patterns imply that the recent & projected declines will be felt unevenly. #MapMonday
