10 STATES Where EVERYONE is MOVING To

Feeling a little...crowded? Late to work more often? Sick of the long lines at the grocery store? Well then you might live in a part of America that’s getting too crowded.

The population of the United States increased by more than 2 million people last year. Natural growth - meaning people being born versus people dying - accounted for, most of the population increase in America, while only a small part of our nation’s growth was due to immigration.

In order to determine the fastest growing states, we simply had to measure the populations of each state from 2010 until now.

10. North Carolina: 5.4% growth rate

We begin our travels to the fastest growing state in America in the state of North Carolina. North Carolina is booming.

Part of that is due to the very pleasurable climate. It’s not too warm here outside of a couple sweltering months in the summer.

The tech scene here is booming, especially in the Raleigh/Durham metro area, and in Charlotte.

9. Idaho - 5.5% growth rate

Idaho has a relatively high birth rate, and a third of its new residents moved TO the Potato State.

8. Arizona - 6.3% growth rate

Arizona’s population grew by 6.3%, more than twice the national population growth rate. Much of Arizona’s growth was due to new residents migrating to the state.

For the third year in a row, Maricopa County led the way of all US counties for population growth. This includes cities like Phoenix, Mesa, Chandler, Scottsdale, Tempe and Glendale.

A number factors affect migration patterns throughout the US. Americans move for economic and educational opportunities as well as quality of life factors such as a warm climate and cost of living.

7. Washington - 6.3% growth rate

Washington’s population has increased by 6.3% since the last decade. Washington’s strong population growth has been accompanied by a substantial increase in GDP, which has grown at an average rate of 2.2% a year — the fourth fastest pace of any state.

Washington’s information sector — which includes industry giants Microsoft, Amazon, and Expedia — grew faster than in any other state other than Pennsylvania.

6. Nevada - 6.8% growth rate

Nevada grew by 2% last year alone, so its population’s surging. If we only measured very recent population growth numbers, Nevada would win.

Despite Nevada’s booming population, its economy has shrunk though. It’s entertainment, arts and recreational sectors have gone down, and that’s bad.

5. Florida - 7.6% growth rate

Like many of the fastest-growing states, Florida’s rapid population growth was largely due to migration. About 9 in every 10 new Floridians either moved to the state from elsewhere in the United States or from another country.

More people move from New York to Florida than any other state.

Of course, there are many many many reasons why Florida is such a popular destination for Americans to move to. It’s hot - too hot actually - taxes are very favorable, there’s a ton to do, and the economy’s great.

4. Colorado - 7.7% growth rate

A net influx of 50,216 Americans relocated to Colorado in 2016, more than all but five other states. The population growth occurred alongside a steep decline in unemployment, too. Just 3.3% of the Colorado labor force is unemployed.

A somewhat interesting summary pointed out that Denver has the 4th most cranes of any other city? It also states that people are moving here for the mountain scenery.

3. Utah - 7.9% growth rate

Utah is growing like a weed. It’s the fastest growing state over the last 5 years, where the population has grown nearly three times the national average. Unlike most fast-growing states, the majority of Utah’s population increase wasn't because people moved there. It’s due to natural growth.

That means babies.

Utah has the largest average family size in the country, and coincidentally, the highest Mormon population of all.

2. Texas - 8.6% growth rate

Here, the population has grown 8.6% which is just massive. But it’s a big state, they can handle it, because everything’s big in Texas, right? It makes sense considering that 5 of the nation’s 15 fastest growing cities are all in Texas.

Blue collar Jobs. Oil. Cheap rent. Cheap land. Low taxes. Diversity. Family values. Good weather. There’s no attitude, and most people are friendly.

1. North Dakota - 11.1% growth rate

North Dakota’s population has surged nearly 11% since the turn of the last decade, which is far and above everyone else.

Most of or part of that reason has been the huge uptick in the number of blue collar jobs here. Particularly, the oil and natural gas boom.
