NY lost nearly 102,000 residents in a year — most in the nation — while Texas saw biggest population gain: Census Bureau

New York’s population plunged more than any other state in the country over the past year, according to sobering new statistics – as fed-up lawmakers and ex-New Yorkers blame crime and the sky-high cost of living.

Almost 102,000 people fled the Empire State from July 2022 to July 2023, the United States Census Bureau revealed in a Tuesday report.

It was one of eight states to face a net-decline in residents over the period, while red states, including Texas and Florida, saw the largest growth in population.

Retired NYPD Lt. John Macari, who was born in Brooklyn but high-tailed it to the Sunshine State in 2022, said the once-great state of New York just isn’t a good place to raise a family anymore.

“People are getting sick of it. The lawlessness, the protests in transit hubs. Young families no longer see this as a place to raise their children,” Macari, who hosts the podcast “Finest Unfiltered,” told The Post Wednesday.
