NY stood out as the state from which more residents moved in between July 2022 and July 2023, according to Census data. In that same period, a report from the state Comptroller revealed a 5.3% decrease in the population of the city of NY during and after the pandemic.
In total, eight US states experienced a population loss last yearbeing NY the most affected with the departure of 102,000 residents between July 2022 and July 2023, according to the Census. The state Comptroller’s report highlighted a 5.3% loss in the population of the city of NY between 2020 and 2022.
California It ranked second with a net decrease of almost 75,500 inhabitants. By contrast, Texas and Florida saw a significant net increase of 473,453 and 365,205 people who moved there, respectively, the US Census Bureau announced.
New Jersey was one of eleven states that experienced a population growth after facing a decline the previous year. It attracted about 30,000 people, the largest number among the states that reversed their population trend, according to the New York Post.
Overall, the United States experienced growth of 1.6 million people during the last year. Although this number is still historically low, it was better than the previous two years. “Although births declined, this was tempered by the nearly 9% decline in deaths. Ultimately, fewer deaths coupled with a rebound in immigration resulted in the nation experiencing its largest population increase since 2018” said Kristie Wilder, a demographer in the Census Bureau’s Population Division.
The population of the state of NY was approximately 19.57 million as of July 1 of this year, after being approximately 19.67 million just 12 months earlier, marking the largest decline among all states in the country according to census data.
Since COVID-19 began to spread in the spring of 2020, the population of the state of NY has decreased by 631,000 people. In 2022, this led to the loss of a seat in the Lower House of the National Capitol due to the demographic decline, which had been manifesting before the pandemic and accelerated since then.
In the specific case of the city of NYmany residents moved to nearby areas, within the same state of NY or to neighboring New Jersey, apparently fleeing costs and insecurity, and taking advantage of the advantages of remote work. This decline “eliminated nearly three-quarters of the demographic gains of the previous decade.”
“In New York City, with fewer births since the pandemic, the population of children under 5 years old decreased 12.5% between April 2020 and June 2022, a much faster rate than the adult population (4.7% )”. Currently, it is estimated that in the state of NY 82,367 people have died since 2020 due to the coronavirus, most in the city of NY.
At the beginning of 2020, the city of NY It had a population of 8,804,190 people, an increase of 7.7% since 2010. However, the pandemic had a profound impact, causing a reduction of 5.3%, dropping to 8,335,897 inhabitants in 2022, according to the Comptroller’s report, cited by the Bronx Times.
The Bronx had the largest percentage drop among the five boroughs: Its population decreased by 6.3%, going from 1,472,654 people in 2020 to 1,379,946 in 2022. In Queens, the decrease was 5.3%, from 2,405,464 to 2,278,029 inhabitants in the same period. In Manhattan, the decrease was 5.8%, from 1,694,251 to 1,596,273. In Brooklyn, the decline was 5.3%, from 2,736,075 residents to 2,590,516. Staten Island was the least affected, with a drop of 0.9%, but it is also the least populated district, going from 495,747 to 491,133 people.
These changes have led to a redesign of the electoral map of NY, which has proven controversial and has reduced the allocation of federal funds. Although the city of NY faces a crisis due to the massive arrival of asylum seekers, it is not clear if they were counted in the last national census.
As of spring 2022, more than 139,000 asylum seekers have arrived in the city of NY, mostly shipped in buses from Texas, in the midst of a national political battle between Democrats and Republicans. Despite the apparent population loss, the cost of living in the city of NY and the difficulty in obtaining affordable housing persists.
