West Virginia had a loss in population. Trump won WV by over 40% and its a dying state.

In the last year, the population of the United States grew at the fastest rate in more than 20 years, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

New data shows that the U.S. population increased by almost 1% this year, or by 3.3 million people, surpassing 340 million. The South experienced the most population growth of all the regions by far, increasing by 1.8 million people.

 

Also helping to increase the population was the fact that births outnumbered deaths by nearly 519,000 between 2023 and 2024.

The voting-age resident population (ages 18 and over) grew to nearly 267 million in the last year, while the population of people ages 17 and under actually declined by 0.2 million to 73.1 million in 2024.

 

“An annual growth rate of 1.0% is higher than what we’ve seen over recent years but well within historical norms,” said Kristie Wilder, a demographer in the Census Bureau’s Population Division. “What stands out is the diminishing role of natural increase over the last five years, as net international migration has become the primary driver of the nation’s growth.”

Only three states—Vermont, Mississippi, and West Virginia—lost population in the last year. West Virginia had the largest population loss, as the state lost 516 residents.

WOW!! 516 residents in just one year??Prayers up for those remaining. Hopefully they can overcome. Thanks for sharing!

Gosh.

Over one person per day leaves WVA.

 

 I say we divert the 33 million we spent on each electric mail deliver truck built in Wisconsin under the last Dem spending bill, and get this "exodus" figured out.

Or some of that $8B to rebuild a bridge destroyed by a private company's boat.

Or the hundred and something million that we spent on a bridge to provide "aid" to Gaza that was never going to work, got destroyed, and killed a US service guy

A horrific administration.

Well, it’s almost heaven-Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River—so it sort of makes sense. Life is old there. 
 

A lot of people think Florida, but no, it’s West Virginia.

Hey Mup!  I dropped some Talking Heads lyrics the other day, and it offered an opportunity for Fergie and I to virtually break bread for a half a second.  Hope you’re doing well, healing nicely and Felize Mupidad!
