10 Fastest Growing States in the US for 2023 including fast growing states in USA and fastest growing states in America 2023.
Feeling a little…crowded? Late to work more often? Sick of the long lines at the grocery store? Well then you might live in a part of America that’s getting too crowded.
The population of the United States increased by more than 2 million people last year. Natural growth – meaning people being born versus people dying – accounted for most of the population increase in America, while only a small part of our nation’s growth was due to immigration.
Across individual states, population growth was far from even. Some states are growing fast and some states are actually shrinking. And it’s regional, too. While populations in the South and West are growing, the Northeast and Midwest are not. Everyone thinks that they want to live in California. What with the beautiful beaches, weather, and people.
BUT, and there’s always a but, no one thinks of all the negatives when they dream of California. There are too many people already there, it’s insanely expensive, and the weather doesn’t actually impact your happiness all that much. The result is that California places as the 28th fastest growing state in the country.
In order to determine the fastest growing states, we simply had to measure the populations of each state from 2010 until now. As we’ll see, some of these states might be surprisingly quickly growing, and some that you think are getting way too overcrowded actually aren’t growing that much at all.
