1) Americans moved South like never before in 2022.
The +868k Domestic Migration gain in the South CRUSHED any previous record set over the previous 30 years.
Meanwhile, the Midwest, West, and Northeast all lost people. pic.twitter.com/kNfDKvGMwL

3) Overall Population Growth in America rebounded to +1.26 Million in 2022.
But is still 50% below the long-term trend.

5) And Florida isn't alone.
There were 24 States in America where more people DIED than were BORN in 2022.
Half the country is in something called "Negative Organic Growth". 📉
Why? Because 1) the population is aging and 2) younger generation isn't having kids. pic.twitter.com/VMidlD7hWW

7) Migration, Births, & Deaths.
It's all part of the equation that creates Population Growth.
The Migration Boom that occurred in 2022 was impressive. But when it subsides, the realities of Births & Deaths will dictate how and where America grows.
