Along with the 0.5% rate of population decline, New York also recorded the largest decline in pure numbers, with a drop of almost 102,000 residents, according to the U.S. Census.

New York lost more residents – and at the largest rate – in 2023 than any other state, despite an overall rise in the U.S. population, according to U.S. Census data.

The bureau released a map showing the percentage change in state populations between July 2022 and July 2023 – New York stands out as the only state colored a deep orange, a label for a percentage change of -0.5 or more.

    Spot on. Migration is a major factor in affecting political change anyway.

    Some of these comments are so out of touch. The irony is that people who blanket support pro choice will go extinct as they abort more of their children over time or don’t reproduce at all (the people above you in this chain). Conservative people don’t abort (now by law) - their population will grow. Thus more anti-abortion laws will happen.

          A big part of the great replacement theory is the assertion that democrats move migrants and “import” migrants to change the voting blocks.

      According to previous studies on who gets abortions, a lot of people getting abortions are people who have already had children, so your latter point doesn’t really check out.

      People who are pro choice might still choose to have children.

      People don’t necessarily inherit the political opinions of their parents, and can change their outlook over time.

      People can spread their ideas through other methods than reproduction, such as debate, educating other people’s children, or sharing their opinion on Lemmy.
