Who knows? populations shift even with a couple of years, but it's easy to predict that more northern baby boomers are moving to the sunbelt, so states like Florida, South Carolina, Texas, Georgia and even places like south or coastal Alabama may see dramatic increases.
One thing is for sure, cities within the State of TN like Nashville are booming.
With tech the way it is now, a younger professional can choose to live practically anywhere he wishes and still be productive - remote workers are everywhere now, more so than just 5 years ago.
Northern migration to the South is falling and has been for some time. It seems to me that some sort of equilibrium may be taking place in terms of migration patterns. This is going to have an impact on growth rates everywhere.
The only things I think will happen are Florida officially passing New York, and Georgia and North Carolina officially passing Michigan. (Annual estimates are unofficial.)
I think South Carolina will eventually crack the top 20, as it seems like SC is taking the place of NC because it's growing faster. Charleston, Columbia, and the Greenville/Spartanburg regions are all receiving growth/transplants. The coast is extremely popular for northern retirees, and the Grand Strand is becoming more clogged by the day. It might take more time, though.
Virginia might step up a little, but it seems to be falling behind some of the other southern states like North Carolina and Georgia. For the longest time, those three were about equal.
North Carolina might gradually fall like Virginia did, as those states have been attracting transplants longer than some of the others in the South like South Carolina or Tennessee.
