    1. The other factor is that some of those who stayed hadn’t the wherewithal to move, even if they wanted to.

      There’s a lot of rural dark red, and a lot of deep blue in warm climates. Hard to extrapolate just off of a map, but that won’t stop the comment section from doing it.

    3. Delaware and Connecticut being the only states with one direction is interesting.

    4. I would definitely use percent changes rather than absolute population numbers

      Well the drop in Kings, Queens, and Bronx counties account for the increase in New Jersey for sure!

      Covid. People moved from urban areas with no parks and hard to get outside to open areas. They moved to places where housing was cheap, they could work remote and get outside.

      That is all reversing now, especially as they realize how bad the places they moved to are and as companies want employees back in the office.

      COVID led to work from home, and between that and the insane cost of living in CA/NY, people have been leaving for more affordable areas.

      A lot of the growth is in cities. The economy is pretty bad in rural areas and a lot of them are declining unless its near a major metro area.

      Covid f’d Hillsborough county up. It’s not the same. I left after over 10 years there and it was so nice to leave.

    9. No one wants to move to Appalachian Kentucky or WV, but they sure love moving to Tennessee

    10. The crazy thing is that three of the top 10 counties are in the Houston area. So that is 527,000 additional people to the Houston area.

      The color scheme really pops aesthetically in the Minneapolis area. I just like the way the colors look with the counties there. Didn’t know there was a population drop in the twin cities proper.

    12. For Jefferson County Alabama (the red one in middle toward the top), it’s been an ongoing trend for many years. It’s people moving to suburbs.

      I don’t know about the effect that COVID had, but as far as Collin and Denton county TX, those trends were already happening. They are the two counties that are just north of the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex and have been expanding a lot over the last few years. There was a lot of open space that is now being filled by housing developments and businesses. From my limited knowledge, it’s going to keep getting bigger. DFW is already a little bigger than Houston, and I think it will eventually include the areas between DFW and Denton/McKinney

    14. People are moving into Massachusetts?

      Edit: I grew up east of the I-495, honestly I couldn’t have asked for a better upbringing (it’s one of my favorite areas in the country), but Massachusetts even Worcester is pretty expensive so just a bit surprised.

      I wonder why much of the Denver area grew considerably, with the exception of the major decline in Jefferson County.

      Florida seems to be on an absolute heater. Which is weird cuz all I read about on Reddit is how awful of a state it is.

    17. lol look at the remote worker flight from St. Paul and Minneapolis into the surrounding 7 county metro area. We flee, but we don’t flee *too far*

    18. I love these charts that show people leaving liberal areas just so I can go to the comments and read every other comment asking for “SOURCE?” And “Akchually this is wrong” lollll

      People just really hate Illinois. Even if state lines weren’t drawn you’d still be able to tell the outline by this map

    20. One_Assist_2414 on

      You can really see how Illinois is dominated by Chicago, and how everyone who lives outside the city is fleeing to other states. Not that even the city has been doing too hot, the red and blue counties largely balance out, and the city has been stagnant for decades.
