story about where people are relocating from obviously NYC is number one but I have seen so many California tags around here lately.  They used to stop at NV and AZ then Texas but now some are coming all the way east.    and we get people from Miami because of the rising costs of housing there and how crowded it has become. 

New Yorkers flocked to Charlotte amid the pandemic - Axios Charlotte

49 out of 63.  The left side killed me, the right side was pretty easy IMHO.  Cool game!

Assuming that above report includes far-flung areas of each respective metro area. If not, really want to know where people in DC, Seattle, and NYC proper are buying homes for that price.

When do we get the official results of the 2020 census? Will we still get estimates for 2020 as well? I’m curious to see if Charlotte cracks 900k people for the new decade.

That’s exactly what I’ve been curious to know also.  I think it should be some time this month

I believe all hands at the Census are working on the redistricting data, that release has been pushed back to September 30. They will release data for all states at once. I don't _think_ they plan to release more coarse data before that.

??? Which series?

From the link above:

Quote

The Vintage 2020 estimates will be released on a rolling basis from December 2020 to June 2021, as indicated in the table below. These estimates are based on the 2010 Census and are created without incorporation or consideration of the 2020 Census results. They are regarded as a “research series” rather than official estimates as they are used largely for evaluative purposes. For example, the Vintage 2020 estimates may be used in comparisons with the 2020 Census to make determinations about the accuracy of the estimates. Differences between the estimates and Census counts are typically interpreted as error in the estimates and are used to inform research and methodological improvements over the decade.

I will call my friend up in Philly who is working with the US Census Bureau and ask

He by the way had to go in every day in the last year unless sick   no work from home for him. 

[KJHburg]

follow up I did talk to my friend at the US Census Bureau and he said he did not know when it would come out as he said when the administration changed it delayed everything again.  He is currently managing some people who are shredding a bunch of follow up letters and so forth with the old US Census Bureau's chief's name on it LOL.  He said he has never seen so much waste as he worked in private sector his whole life.  

something like this and this is not a joke sadly.

I've seen the insane amount of waste produced when a private company rebrands, sounds like the same thing. Pallets of branded paperwork, pens, clothing, etc - all trashed

Oh - I'm going to call it, I'm sure CLT population as of 7\1\2020 will be more than 900K.  Probably like 905K to 910K....

BREAKING: new Census apportionment counts...

TX +2
FL, CO, MT, NC, OR +1

CA, IL, MI, NY, OH, PA, WV -1

[kermit]

Statewide growth was about 10% lower than projected. We will need to wait until September to find out why growth was slower in NC (more rural decline or slower urban growth?).

This was the second slowest growing census period ever (the Great Depression was the only slower period of growth). Seems like shutting off the immigration taps from 2017-2020 would do that. (the rate of natural increase continues to decline nationwide).

[QCxpat]

The U.S. Census Bureau released 2020 census apportionment results today.  The apportionment population consists of the resident population of the 50 states, plus the overseas military and federal civilian employees and their dependents living with them who could be allocated to a home state.   At the conclusion of each decennial census, the apportionment results are used to calculate the number of seats in the U.S. House of Representatives to which each state is entitled.  The reapportioned Congress will be the 118th, which convenes in January 2023.

As of April 1, 2020, the apportionment population of North Carolina was 10,453,948.  North Carolina gained one seat based on the 2020 census results, and N.C. will be entitled to 14 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives. 

Below are links to Tables showing the U.S. Census Bureau's 2020 apportionment population and the number of representatives for all 50 states.

So 5 new representatives and electoral votes for state's with the GOP controlling the state legislature (TX, NC, FL, MT). 2 for states where the DEM control drawing boundaries (CO and OR). 

Loss of 3 representatives in states DEM control legislature (CA, IL, NY) vs. a loss in  4 states controlled by GOP legislatures (OH, MI, PA, WV). 

Likely to shake out with roughly 1 extra GOP controlled district nationwide.

North Carolina's growth has slowed in both percentage and numbers this last decade compared to the last century. Anyone have any guesses as what exactly might be influencing this? An article I read suggested slower birth rates and less in-migration.

The last century is completely different compared to today in the whole country. In the 20th century you had massive in-migration from overseas AND a very high fertility rate from people already here. In 1960 the fertility rate was 3.58 children per woman. Fast forward to 2020 and it is 1.78 per woman. We are below replacement level and as the Baby Boomers die off, we aren't having enough babies to replace them. For places like North Carolina, we are still managing to grow from in-migration from the other states that are stagnant (like Ohio, upstate NY, PA, Michigan, et.) but you can only fight fertility and death so long. The only thing the government can control is incentivizing having more children or encouraging more immigration from international countries to offset stagnant internal growth.  We haven't really increased international immigration though, especially under the Trump admin.

Birth rates have been trending down for decades. Most demographers would say its related to things like student debt, housing costs and cultural trends towards much smaller family size (which are tied to the cost of kids as well as the cost of one member of the HH stepping out of the labor force). Immigration's decline is pretty self-evident and driven entirely by federal policy. I would hope that our declining growth rate will wake up policy makers to our looming labor shortage, but since immigration policy has become entirely political I am not optimistic.

The other likely cause of decline in NC growth rates is all the trump-driven BS about the citizenship question on the census. This certainly depressed response rates for hispanics (both citizens and non-citizens). Most Sunbelt states saw similar declines in growth rates, as well as similar overprediction errors (based on the Census ACS, which is a survey rather than an enumeration) , so hispanic undercounting makes sense as an cause of this "decline" in growth (it may just be an undercount rather than a decline)
