Well geewillikers, Melvin. I wonder why? Could it be because New York, or more properly, the People's Republik of New Yorkistan is one of the highest taxed, most business unfriendly states in the country?
Why on earth is Idaho seeing such a boom in population
Why wouldn't it? Beautiful state that is economically friendly to businesses.
Note: I may be biased on this. :mrgreen:
I would imagine it has something to do with the extremely high cost of living in New York City, even the suburbs.

Meh, a 48k decline out of 19.5 million isn't all that concerning. Since the last census they've had an over all increase. Much ado about nothing.
Having grown up with Spokane TV being broadcast to me, my impressions of Idaho are limited to Coeur D Alene and the issues it had with Aryan Nations back in the late 80s and early 90s. That and reading on preppers seem to like the state
But that's in one year alone. New York has had a population exodus for decades.

In July, the New York population stood at 19,542,209, down from 19,590,719 the previous July, the Census Bureau said Wednesday. In 2000, it was at 19,378,124.
Try reading the 2nd sentence of Kals post again

NY states population has increased every decade

It certainly has not grown as much as many other states, but it has grown. The cost of living I expect is the prime reason, without nice weather as compensation for the high cost of living
HAHAHA. Where? Because it ain't happening where I'm at.
Not just that, but zero private sector expansion in upstate and Western NY.
doesnt matter. They still get to keep their voting power. At this very same level too. I never saw Detroit’s or Cleveland’s drop after their exodus. Or St Louis either.https://buffalonews.com/2018/12/19/new-yorks-population-dips-over-the-past-year/

Apparently not to the world's biggest companies like Amazon and Google. The Amazon headquarters in Queens is a bit controversial given the tax breaks they got in order to set up shop, but Google is coming to Hudson Yards and doing so on their own dime. That being said, New York City is becoming an absurd place to live (cost of living, gentrification) which is why I left despite being a born and bred NYer. The cost of living is really high and when I wanted to buy property, it just wasn't worth it for what you get for your money. I do feel for the rest of the state though, because it is pretty grim. The article didn't mention how the population reduction was distributed between upstate and downstate; I'd be curious to know what that is. Based on what the trend I'm witnessing right over the Hudson river, people starting families leave NYC and rent in waterfront areas in NJ, then buy homes in north/southwestern NJ that have good access to public transportation.
MANY years ago people started to say that Manhattan was becoming an 'island of millionaires'.. Because they were the only ones who could afford to live there. and it's only got worse, but it's because the economy is doing so well in NYC, not because as many partisan politics people try to say, it's a hell hole.
No one wants to live in Manhattan
It is too crowded

The new Census figures Thursday showed that population growth in New York was largely in New York City and its suburbs, as well as the Albany area.
But the rest of the state struggled: Population dropped nearly 93,000 in the 42 counties that had a decline between 2010 and 2017, a fall of 3 percent, the Census Bureau figures showed.
Upstate vs. downstate from 2010 to 2018...
The population figures again showed a tale of two states: Downstate is growing, and upstate is shrinking.
New York City led the state in population growth, up 5 percent, or nearly 450,000 people to more than 8.6 million.
Population rose in the lower Hudson Valley, too: up 5 percent in Rockland County to 329,000 and 3 percent in Westchester to 980,000.
