This map shows how fast each US state grew or shrank in a year

• Florida's population grew 1.9% from July 1, 2021 to the same time time this year.
• That means, according to the Census Bureau, it saw the largest percent increase among states and DC.

According to recently published data from the Census Bureau, Florida saw its annual population growth soar the most among states and DC.

As seen in the map below using new Census Bureau population estimate data, other states across the US didn't grow as quickly as Florida between July 1, 2021 and July 1, 2022. While many states saw their populations climb, New York, Illinois, Louisiana, and several other states around the country saw their populations shrink.

The following map shows percent changes in population across the US. You can hover over each state and DC to see their population estimates and how much they grew or shrunk.

According to the recently released estimates, Florida's population climbed 1.9% between 2021 and 2022. A Census Bureau post stated that this is the first time since 1957 that Florida is the state with the fastest-growing population.

Florida not only stood out for its population percent increase, but also saw the largest positive net domestic migration — or the number of people moving into the state from elsewhere in the US minus those moving out to another part of the country — from July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022. Florida had a net domestic migration of 318,855 during this time.

Some other states weren't too far behind Florida's population growth. Across the country from Florida, Idaho was the second fastest-growing state. Utah rounded out the top 10 with an increase of 1.2% to 3,380,800.

The following table shows the 10 states that saw the biggest population percent increases among states and DC from July 1, 2021 to July 1, 2022:

Not all states saw their populations rise during this time frame. New York saw the biggest percentage drop. Its population fell just shy of 1% — or declining by 180,341. That means, according to a Census Bureau press release, that New York saw the biggest population declines among the states and DC based on both percent and numeric decreases.

While the state did see more births than deaths, far more people moved out of the state than moved in. Negative domestic migration offset positive international migration for the state, leading to the overall population decline.

The following table shows the 10 states that saw the biggest population percent declines among states and DC from July 1, 2021 to July 1, 2022:

While other states saw growth or saw their populations fall, Vermont saw pretty much no change in its population. It grew by 92 residents, or by 0.01%, to 647,064. Iowa and Connecticut also saw growth below 0.1%, growing 0.09% and 0.08% respectively.

While those states saw small gains, Kansas and Michigan saw their populations fall very slightly, shrinking by 0.03%.
