HTN: New York State Losing Population

The exodus of New Yorkers to other states continues. That's according to the latest U.S. Census figures, which indicate residents moved out of New York at the third fastest rate in the country. Since the beginning of the decade, one-point-six-million New Yorkers have left the state. Only Michigan and Rhode Island have higher "out migration" rates. Perhaps the only variable that keeps New York from having the highest out migration rate is the influx of immigrants, who mostly move to New York city. New York's population growth, such as it is, was two-point-seven-percent: 41st in the nation.
