Actually that is not true. While northeast Connecticut is known as the quiet corner and has seen much of its manufacturing leave, it still has a pretty low unemployment rate and is not as depressing as you make it sound. Remember it is not that far from cities like Worchester, Providence and even Hartford (we have a surprising number of people from that area) and UConn is on the edge of that region. Check out the link below and you will see that towns like Putnam, Thompson and Woodstock have pretty low unemployment rates some under the state average. Jay

Sorry, I forgot to put why there is red on the map.

Pink to Red on the map means it is warm to hot real estate market.
Light Blue to blue means it is a cool to cold real estate market.

Do you have a source for this claim? That would mean over 300,000 people a year or nearly 10% every year. Highly unlikely. Jay

Eight states lost population between July 1, 2016, and July 1, 2017. Illinois had the largest numeric decline, losing 33,703 people (this was a relatively small percentage change compared to its population of 12.8 million). Wyoming had the largest percentage decline (1.0 percent). Three states that had been losing population in the previous year, Pennsylvania, Connecticut and Vermont, saw slight increases.

Good news for Connecticut...

The baby boomers are retiring all over the nation and many are moving to FL, no surprise.

But here is something that I have heard from the people I know that have condos in FL. There are many South American immigrants going to FL so they are part of that population growth too. I even found a map that shows that FL and NY are the top 2 states where South American immigrants are going to so the snow birds I know are correct. It is not just something they are perceiving.
https://www.migrationpolicy.org/arti...-united-states

And on the other side of the country TX, AZ, NM and CA are having a population surge of immigrants from Mexico so that is also part of the population explosion on those states. The people to all of the southern states that are growing are not just coming from within the US.

This entire discussion of the population growing in all these states are missing the critical component above.
