Illinois population has been declining faster than any other state except for California and New York.
As explained by a conservative Southern Illinois website:
| “ | Estimates from the Census Bureau show there were 4,866 more births than deaths in Illinois, 31,529 net migrants gained from abroad, but 141,656 residents lost on net to other states. The loss in residents to other states was the largest in state history. It was nearly as many people as if Illinois’ fifth-largest city, Rockford, disappeared.
Both domestic outmigration, which is people moving to other states, and total population decline were third-worst in the nation in terms of the raw number – better than only New York and California.[1] |
