More residents escaped from New York over the last year than from any other state, according to estimates released by the U.S. Census Bureau on Tuesday.
Some 126,355 people high-tailed it out of the Empire State between July 2019 and July 2020, a dip of 0.65 percent, the preliminary figures show.
New York has been losing locals since 2016, but the most recent drop was significantly larger than in years past.
It was also the state with the nation’s biggest population decline, followed by Illinois with a 0.63 percent dip; Hawaii with 0.61 percent and West Virginia with 0.58 percent.
The estimates are based on the 2010 Census and the official 2020 Census results will be released next year, along with a new legislative map.
The once-a-decade national head count determines how the 435 seats in the House of Representatives are divided among the 50 states based on the population changes recorded.
If the numbers hold, New York could lose one seat, dropping to 26, according to an analysis by William Frey, chief demographer for the Brookings Institution.
Welcome to OC! Just wait NYers…you will be bending over here soon enough.
All come here’s
Watch out for them
They bring their poison with them too
You have 2 A-holes that are responsible, guess who? The mayor and Governor. Hardly any hotels or restaurants open and crime is way up. Very few visitors and residents fleeing in droves. This once great city has gone to hell!!!!
AOC said that illegals and resident “Rats” will be allowed to be counted in the Census, the “Fix” is in with the court already. The resident vermin have a right to have their squeaks heard in DC. Como said New York City’s Rats are as big as small dogs and have rights too. Hillary Clinton said that most of the Rats are the only friends that stuck by her after she lost the election in 2016. She said we need to remember; “Rat Lives Matter”
I read elsewhere NY could lose 2. It’s not just their population loss, but also regular legal population growth elsewhere in addition to the outmigration from NY, IL, etc. Only 435 seats to be allocated against the map.
