The state’s population decreased by 319,020 people over a 12-month period coinciding with the COVID-19 pandemic. New York in the last year also recorded a net loss of 352,185 of its population due to domestic migration, the Census reported.

New York has long waved goodbye to people, especially in upstate counties, over the last several generations.
