That might explain Illinois as well if people are moving out of the mega cities and the states they are in.

Some states it's likely economic problems (Mississippi, Alaska), while in others like New York, it's probably cost of living. It shows that economy is the main factor in where people live rather than weather or anything else. Northern states with good economies can and do grow while Southern/Western states with crap economies can and do buck the growth of the regions. That is the main deciding factor.

If the 2018 estimates were used for reapportionment, the following states would gain or lose House seats:

Gains:
Colorado 7 -> 8
Florida 27 -> 29
North Carolina 13 -> 14
Oregon 5 -> 6
Texas 36 -> 38

Losses:
Illinois 18 -> 17
Michigan 14 -> 13
Minnesota 8 -> 7
New York 27 -> 26
Pennsylvania 18 -> 17
Rhode Island 2 -> 1
West Virginia 3 -> 2

This reapportionment outcome would marginally benefit Republicans in the electoral college, as the only solid red state to lose a seat is WV, and the only solid blue state to gain a seat is OR. But it wouldn't make a major difference unless an overall election is very close.

If you look at components of change, net migration actually improved a bit since 2017. However, international migration fell from 130,000 to 70,000. Not good considering immigration numbers were driving upstate growth.

Buffalo has also had the best job numbers in Upstate so it’s possible it’s a Rochester/Binghamton/Syracuse which are stable/losing jobs and losing retirees will see stark declines

States like NY and CA depend on international migration for population growth. Govt now reducing legal immigration quotas, could explain loss.

I'm surprised that not a single person yet has reported on the census revisions to the 2017 numbers. The lot of it is extremely shocking. Each year when the census bureau releases their population estimates they also revise the previous year's population estimate either upward or downward if they find evidence that they have been over-counting or under-counting places.

Please pay close attention to the detail in the three lists below. I'll be posting three lists: the first will be the 2017 census estimates that were reported last year; the second will be the 2017 census estimates that were released today as upward and/or downward revisions; and the third will be the 2018 census estimates that came out today.

State population for 2017 (pre-revision/released 1 year ago):
01. California: 39,536,653
02. Texas: 28,304,596
03. Florida: 20,984,400
04. New York: 19,849,399
05. Pennsylvania: 12,805,537
06. Illinois: 12,802,023
07. Ohio: 11,658,609
08. Georgia:10,429,379
09. North Carolina: 10,273,419
10. Michigan: 9,962,311

State population for 2017 (post-revision/released today):
01. California: 39,399,349
02. Texas: 28,322,717
03. Florida: 20,976,812
04. New York: 19,590,719
05. Pennsylvania: 12,790,447
06. Illinois: 12,786,196
07. Ohio: 11,664,129
08. Georgia: 10,413,055
09. North Carolina: 10,270,800
10. Michigan: 9,976,447

State population for 2018 (released today):
01. California: 39,557,045
02. Texas: 28,701,845
03. Florida: 21,299,325
04. New York: 19,542,209
05. Pennsylvania: 12,807,060
06. Illinois: 12,741,080
07. Ohio: 11,689,442
08. Georgia: 10,519,475
09. North Carolina: 10,383,620
10. Michigan: 9,995,915

Take an extra careful look at California and New York on all three lists. California's 2017 numbers were revised downward by -137,000 people. In addition to that, California's + 157,000 from the newly released 2018 numbers is the lowest it has added in a year since the 1940s. The next lowest year for California was 2006 with + 193,259. It does not appear that California will be reaching 40 million by the 2020 census, it is way off course now. The state of New York's 2017 numbers were revised downward by nearly -260,000 people. On a brighter note, Michigan is doing pretty well now.

When the numbers for metropolitan areas come out in March of 2019, there will likely be population decline for the New York MSA, Los Angeles MSA, and Chicago MSA. If they avoid decline, then stagnation of barely any year-over-year growth.

There's been less domestic migration into Texas than I thought. "Only" about 83,000 and the international migration at about 105,000. I was surprised to see Florida have the highest with both domestic/international migration. Seems the only reason why Texas outgrew it is because of natural increase. Basically the retirees skew Florida's death numbers into being so high.

These numbers for both Texas and Florida include all of 2017's devastating hurricanes; Hurricane Harvey, Hurricane Irma, and Hurricane Maria.

Florida accelerated significantly because it absorbed population gains from Puerto Rico due to the devastation of Hurricane Maria and Hurricane Irma. Texas in contrast slowed down from July 1, 2017 to July 1, 2018 because of Hurricane Harvey damaging Houston (when metropolitan area numbers come out, I expect Greater Houston to be + 55,000 or + 60,000 instead of its usual + 100,000 or more due to Harvey). In both cases this is a one year thing, meaning next year when the 2019 numbers come out Texas will be back to its regular + 400,000 people or more with Houston back to normal (as its job growth numbers imply) and Florida will be returning back to normal as well. It will not be absorbing growth from Puerto Rico's devastation in 2019, so Florida should be somewhere between the range of + 250,000 to + 300,000 people. Which is the normal range for Florida in an average to good year.

The bigger story to ponder over is why California has slowed to a crawl and why New York is now leading the United States in raw number population decline. From July 1, 2017 (post-revision numbers) to July 1, 2018 the state of New York declined -48,000 people.
