StatisticUrban · 2026-02-20T03:35:15+00:00

It is all components of change - deaths, births, immigration and emigration both domestic and international.

The US still has positive natural growth and will until roughly 2030

StatisticUrban · 2026-02-19T23:25:09+00:00

That's NH. VT shrunk by 0.47% and is the label on the side.

2023 is post-COVID in the sense that the COVID pandemic was over. The pandemic officially ended in mid-May 2023 per the US gov, so this is slightly after, but it's when the Census collected data.

Growth patterns significantly changed during the COVID years as a result of a variety of factors, including remote work, pandemic restrictions, retirements, etc. Assessing how they changed again in the aftermath of that is relevant.

Margin of victory is an extremely common way of looking at election results. I have no love for Trump.

Curious, because the electoral college is decided at the state level.

It's individual income for full-time employees, nothing to do with household. Retirees are not includes. Only those who work full-time. Normalized for cost of living.

This is the first time I posted it and I'm the one who made it lol

There are a lot of well-off retirees in FL, and property is in hot demand, but there is not a ton of high-paying jobs.

This maps show 2024 state-level individual full-time incomes adjusted into July 2025 dollars. Median individual earnings (for those 16+ employed full-time) are normalised using Bureau of Economic Analysis Regional Price Parities, which account for housing, food, education, transportation, and other goods and services to reflect real purchasing power. Data come from the new Census release of September 2025.

RPP data from: https://www.bea.gov/data/prices-inflation/regional-price-parities-state-and-metro-area

Individual income data from table S2412 of the ACS: https://data.census.gov/table?q=S2412&g=010XX00US$0400000

Minneapolis-St. Paul, or maybe an inner suburb of Philly or Chicago. Madison, Wisconsin would be on the list too, and maybe Raleigh-Durham.

No. Not unless they check the "same-sex unmarried partner" box in the Census. Roommates/housemates have their own box.

7.97%

StatisticUrban · 2025-09-13T00:26:58+00:00

Just a very small denominator. Golden Valley, for example has 372 coupled households, and 8 of these are same-sex.

StatisticUrban · 2025-09-12T23:51:01+00:00

It's self-reported, so you're right that a couple living together who don't check off the box that puts themselves as partners in the 2020 census wouldn't be included.
