The low rate of national population growth is reflected in the slow growth or population declines across states. Three states lost population from 2010 to 2020: West Virginia, Mississippi, and Illinois. This is the highest number of population-losing states since the 1980s.

However, in the mo...
These first results from the 2020 census show a nation that is growing as tepidly as any time in its history. While some of this growth slowdown may be related to the impacts of the Great Recession, reduced immigration, and the COVID-19 pandemic (which started just weeks before the Census Bureau’s enumeration began), much of it reflects the continu...
