America’s Fastest-Growing States
Southern and Western states are seeing recent population growth, according to new estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau
Overall, the bureau estimates the total U.S. population to be at more than 329 million in 2020 – a 0.35% increase compared to last year. The Southern and Western regions saw population increases, while the Northeast and Midwest saw minor decreases.
The new estimates – which are accurate up through July 1, 2020 – were created without incorporation of the ongoing 2020 census results, and are based on the last decennial census in 2010, according to the bureau's release.
Nine of the 10 fastest-growing states had population increases greater than 1%. Idaho saw, by far, the biggest growth compared to 2019 at 2.12%, with Arizona seeing a 1.78% increase and Nevada and Utah both seeing bumps of around 1.5%. Delaware – the only state in the top 10 that isn't located in the South or the West – is projected to have seen a 1% population increase in 2020.
