Where is the fastest population growth in the United States?

According to CNN, according to the latest statistics of American census, the population of Utah increased by 2.5% in 2008, which is the fastest growing area in the United States.

The reasons for population growth are natural growth and domestic migration. More people enter Utah than move out.

The second fastest growing state is Arizona. The population growth rate is 2.3%. The reason is also the increase in the number of immigrants. The proportion of natural growth rate is also high.

Followed by Texas. In 2008, the number of immigrants in Texas was 500,000, more than all states in the United States. Because of its large population base, Texas became the third state with a population growth rate of 2.0%. North Carolina ranked fourth with 2.0%. Colorado also ranked fifth with 2.0%. Nevada, the state with the fastest population growth last year, fell to eighth place this year. In the past 23 years, Nevada ranked fourth among the fastest growing regions.

The population of two states in the United States is decreasing. One is Michigan, with a population decrease of 0.5%; One is Rhode Island, with a population decrease of 0.2%.

Although the population growth in the northeastern United States is slow, it has been increasing since 2005. The population of the southern United States increased by 654.38+0.4 million, and the growth rate of the western States was 654.38+0.4%.

The situation in Florida is just the opposite. A few years ago, 250,000 people moved here, but in 2007-2008, the population growth rate was only 0.7%, lower than the national average of 0.9%.
