Last month came the most jaw-dropping announcement of all: The state that made population growth the linchpin of its economy for more than 60 years lost a net 58,000 people this year, according to newly released estimates for April 1. (www.usatoday.com)

Responses:

I have facts. I prefer the census data, which estimated that the state gained 114k residents from July 1, 2008 to July 1, 2009. -- (link) - Don Homer May 26, 10:50 5
- you're in the middle of a census now. How old is the data that those numbers are based on? Plus, 114k is not a lot for a state to grow. -- nm - zork May 26, 10:54 1
  - Actually, taht's quite a bit for one year of growth. Ranked 5th out of all states for number. The data is less than 1 year old, based on estimates. -- nm - Don Homer May 26, 10:57
- ok. -- nm - workmanda May 26, 10:52 1
  - (I apologize if I seemed snippy. *hugs*) -- nm - Don Homer May 26, 10:53
- And, fwiw, the 3 states increasing the most (%-wise) in that time were 1) Wyoming, 2) Utah, 3) Texas. - Don Homer May 26, 10:52
