Ich habe diese Grafik erstellt, um den starken Unterschied in der Bevölkerungsentwicklung zwischen diesen beiden Staaten hervorzuheben, und zwar anhand der Daten der letzten zwei Jahre.
Was ist Ihrer Meinung nach für diese Unterschiede verantwortlich? Werden sich diese Trends fortsetzen?

I created this graphic to highlight the stark difference in population trends between these two states, using the most recent two years of data. I included the overall population growth of the entire US for reference.
What do you think is responsible for these differences? Will these trends continue?
Buffalo and Albany aren’t really part of the new york metropolitan area. The official area includes many counties in new jersey, which have grown in recent years.
It’s two fold
1. Businesses that don’t require highly skilled workers like red states for business friendly and worker hostile environments
2. Texas is cheap to live in, drawing people who need housing and can’t afford it in more desirable areas
There are (currently) roughly 85 times the amount of people in NYC than Tyler, TX. So I find the data at most, morbidly curious
Here’s a PSA to those hell-bent to live on top of the oil patch, and especially in fragrant Midland.
If you have a history of cancer in your family, particularly bladder cancer, you might want to periodically get screened for the omnipresent Benzene.
It’s not that the other VOC’s you’re inhaling aren’t bad(they are).
It’s that Benzene is one of the most potent carcinogens released in fossil production and refining.
It’s why we now pump our own gas(except OR and NJ) to socialize the exposure.
I assume this data is based on the actual city boundaries (?) Might be interesting to see it based on MSA which would include suburbs that identify as part of the respective city areas. (Also Midland & Odessa are pretty tiny – couple hundred families might represent 1% growth!)
What do you expect when comparing a huge open plain to one of the densest places in the world?
There is a reason why growth is so limited in most of Upstate NY. Much of that is because there are a lot of construction requirements that are on the books for NYC that go state wide despite not having the same difficulties with construction as NYC.
Then, there are the states and taxes….NYS has some of the highest taxes in the country which limits a lot of the companies willing to expand into NY vs Texas with much lower tax rates and nearly non-existent labor laws.
I know there is a lot of room in both Rochester and Buffalo for business growth/expansion. Especially with a lot of really good education opportunities between UB, U of R, RIT and Syracuse and Cornell is just few hours away.
Doesn’t make a real difference in the chart, but since you are only looking at MSAs, would the „benchmark“ be better if it was the change in population just of US MSAs?
MSAs: +2.01%
Other: +0.67%
