Whitmer’s Michigan 49th for population growth — driven only by international migration
https://www.themidwesterner.news/2025/01/whitmers-michigan-49th-for-population-growth-driven-only-by-international-migration/Without the addition of migrants, Michigan’s ranking as the tenth most populous state in the country would likely decline more precipitously.
New numbers from the U.S. Census show that while the state lost 67,785 domestic residents, it also saw 164,465 international migrants move in. The addition of international migration saw the Great Lakes State add 96,680 residents between April 1, 2020, and July 1, 2024.
The estimates indicate Michigan’s population stood at nearly 10.08 million on April 1, 2020. The Wolverine State’s population dropped to about 10.04 million in 2021.
Michigan is the bottom in terms of growth.
