Population is regularly still counted each year in every state. The decennial census is complete list of household questions which goes well beyond merely counting the residents. Hint -- your chart goes from 2010 to 2022. Obviously 2022 does not align with the decennial census results.
I don’t know why you’re stuck on this. NJ is a growing state. I know my state. 5.7% growth in the last census. Very heathy. https://www.census.gov/library/stories/state-by-state.html
Leading growth states had a much greater growth rate than a mere 5.7% between 2010 to 2020. North Carolina grew 9.5% in this time period which is considered only to be middling growth. States like Nevada, North Dakota, Arizona, Colorado, Delaware (a neighbor of NJ), Florida, Idaho, Oregon, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, Washington, and others grew at well over 10% -- many over 15% during this time period. New Jersey barely outpaced New York (4.2%) in growth.
No. NJ will not grow by 10% ever again. It is the most densely populated state in America. 5% is good here. North Carolina is a much larger state in land area but a similar population size. I’m not sure 10% is good for that state. Perhaps they need a larger growth rate or not. I don’t know. What about infrastructure, healthcare, water, housing etc. I have no idea if 10% is good or bad for North Carolina. There are a few bright spots in North Carolina but it’s mostly an inconsequential state in terms of the country as a whole. New York should be growing by more than they are. They are hemorrhaging residents from NYC. If you’ve ever been through New York you know once you get outside of the 5 boroughs it becomes rather rust belt-ish. New York is in decline upstate, that’s for sure.
I agree with you about New York. I have actually spent quite a bit of time in New Jersey in the 90s since I had relatives who retired to the Bricktown/Toms River area. I enjoyed the Jersey shore including Point Pleasant during my visits. However I will still stand by that our North Carolina beaches are nicer than the beaches in any state north of Virginia. And will note that North Carolina is number 3 in terms of people moving to the state. The only states with more people moving to them are Texas and Florida. Considering that North Carolina has a much smaller population than Texas and Florida we must have something going good in our state to make it the third most popular destination for moving. I will note that Charlotte is the second largest banking location in the U.S. after New York City. The Research Triangle Park area (Raleigh/Durham) is one of the biggest tech and pharma areas in the U.S. -- regularly ranking in the top 10 for tech and in the top 5 for biotech. Our state has beautiful mountains and an awesome coastline. I live in a location where it is a mere three hour drive to either -- but prefer to spend time on our local lakes which are well known for their fishing & boating.
Just to put a point on how densely populated NJ is, towns like Brick and Toms River would be considered small cities outside of NJ. Their population is already between 75,000 and 100,000 residents respectively with very little land left to develop. And while each of these towns border eachother they have their own hospitals and shopping centers, etc which is not something common outside of a state like NJ. Like I said previously, I used to travel for work years ago and I am very familiar with the US east of the Mississippi and have traveled throughout the west. There may be small pockets of areas like NJ in some states but I have not seen a state as developed as NJ. California is very large so it wouldn’t be fair to not consider Southern California, which is very nice although they have water and electricity problems out there. I’m not knocking NC, Kill Devil Hills is a favorite vacation spot of mine. My kids loved Myrtle Beach in SC too. It’s just once you leave the little pockets in those states you are literally nowhere transported to a different place and time. I would buy land in both of those states. Some years ago I went in on some land in Virginia that returned very nicely. Try to remember we got into this because @TreeFrogTrader is emotionally damaged from Donald Trump having to pay for the massive fraud he committed so he changed the topic to cope. He lives in a shack on the side of a river like a hobo so he is naturally jealous.
Not true but that does sound good. I had nice cabins in both Vermont and Maine at one time. Truth be known, the area where I live is largely considered to be one of- if not the- most beautiful places in America. Anyway, I guess you go into a hyper "let's talk about New Jersey" mode when your boy Biden is not doing well. We understand though. Trying to pretty up New Jersey's image is about like trying to pretty up Biden.
Dumb ass UsualName wrong as usual MICHIGAN: 56 Percent Of Democrat Voters In Party Stronghold Of Dearborn Voted Against Biden https://trendingpoliticsnews.com/56...in-dearborn-michigan-voted-against-biden-cmc/ The major story that emerged from Michigan’s Democratic primary on Tuesday was the massive success of the “uncommitted” campaign, which was spearheaded by Muslim American voters who are dissatisfied with President Biden’s handling of the Israel-Palestine conflict. Support for the “uncommitted” campaign was most pronounced in Dearborn, a predominantly Muslim community that overwhelmingly backed Biden in the 2020 election. In total, more than 56 percent of Dearborn Democrats voted against Biden, a result that could prove significant come November.
