Useful to keep in mind where in the "red" states the people are moving. For example, Austin. Formerly a town that fit my "sweet spot" theory, small, growing fast, so had a lot of jobs available at rising wages, and a lagging real estate market that was still affordable. Look at Austin now, it's crowded, expensive, and "blue".
State income tax was repealed in Florida in 1855 by democratic leadership. You cannot say for sure that it is 600k loss of tax payers and addition of 500k of immigrants as it is just speculation. Status is not included in census if I recall. So only thing I think is those are made up numbers. Sorry but it is true. Lack of state income tax is not a red v blue state... especially since FL has had mostly Democratic Governors.... it is a great way to attract people to live there who spend money in other ways than state income taxes. That is one reason Trump moved down there since NY highest state income tax is maybe 10%.
Outstanding! Of course democrats in 1855 were very very different from democrats today. Hell, I might have been one! I'm giving my opinion, just like you're giving me yours on why everyone is moving. You can say I don't know what I'm talking about, just like I can say you don't.
I only said your opinion is not supported by facts.....that is why I said we cannot say the make up is changing by losing tax payers and gaining immigrants we just know there is a net decrease of .007% Many of you here want to tell us it is because people are fleeing blue states to be in the luxury of red states. I just gave various reason people are moving that have nothing to do with politics but more to do with economics and technology. I am not twisting it into a political argument just twisting it away from one because it makes perfect sense why people are leaving high priced real estate markets when they know they can get more for their money in subruban and rural communities and tech allows them. People flocking to Florida are not piling into Miami I bet... same high cost of living. BUt the suburbs of Orlando and Tampa must be booming as is Jacksonville.
Yeah, right, cause those trends have been happening since, oh, vaccine mandates began? But real estate prices have had the pattern you describe for 30 years? Yeah, you're right, nothing to do with liberals goose-stepping into totalitarian madness and people fleeing for freedom. Nope, nothing to see there. heh heh heh. Oh, man, you're cracking me up.
The 2020 census undercounted the U.S. population by 18.8 million and underrepresented Black, Latino and Indigenous people, officials said. At the same time, the census overcounted the number of white and Asian residents, the Census Bureau said. Thursday, March 10, 2022 1:01 PM EST https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/10/us/census-undercounted-population.html The 2020 census undercounted the country’s population by 18.8 million people, the Census Bureau said on Thursday, acknowledging that the count had underrepresented Black, Latino and Indigenous residents. At the same time, the census overcounted the number of white and Asian residents, the bureau said. Robert L. Santos, the bureau’s director, said that despite the omissions, the results were consistent with recent censuses. “This is notable, given the unprecedented challenges of 2020,” he said in a statement. “But the results also include some limitations — the 2020 census undercounted many of the same population groups we have historically undercounted, and it overcounted others.” The U.S. population grew to 323.2 million, the bureau said on Thursday, a 5 percent increase from 2010. “We remain proud of the job we accomplished in the face of immense challenges,” Mr. Santos said. “And we are ready to work with the stakeholders and the public to fully leverage this enormously valuable resource.” The 2020 census faced a series of challenges. The coronavirus pandemic shut down much of the count just as it was beginning in April 2020, forcing the bureau to extend its work by nearly two months. Later in the year, wildfires in the West and coastal hurricanes upended the bureau’s work just as door-knockers were fanning out to survey millions of households that had not filled out their forms. The Trump administration later moved up the deadline to finish the counting, raising concerns about an undercount. The problems led many experts, including some senior Census Bureau officials, to worry that the final count would be fatally flawed. In September, a 59-page analysis of the 2020 census commissioned and reviewed by the American Statistical Association said the count appeared accurate enough for its overriding constitutional purpose: reallocating the 435 seats in the House of Representatives. But the experts who drafted the report limited their findings to the overall national tally and counts in the 50 states and the District of Columbia. Much more study would be needed, they said, to gauge the reliability of local population totals and characteristics such as race and ethnicity that are vital parts of every census.
