DEC. 22, 2022 – After a historically low rate of change between 2020 and 2021, the U.S. resident population increased by 0.4%, or 1,256,003, to 333,287,557 in 2022, according to the U.S. Census Bureau’s Vintage 2022 national and state population estimates and components of change released today.

Net international migration — the number of people moving in and out of the country — added 1,010,923 people between 2021 and 2022 and was the primary driver of growth. This represents 168.8% growth over 2021 totals of 376,029 – an indication that migration patterns are returning to pre-pandemic levels. Positive natural change (births minus deaths) increased the population by 245,080.

“There was a sizeable uptick in population growth last year compared to the prior year’s historically low increase,” said Kristie Wilder, a demographer in the Population Division at the Census Bureau. “A rebound in net international migration, coupled with the largest year-over-year increase in total births since 2007, is behind this increase.”

Regional Patterns The South, the most populous region with a resident population of 128,716,192, was the fastest-growing and the largest-gaining region last year, increasing by 1.1%, or 1,370,163. Positive net domestic migration (867,935) and net international migration (414,740) were the components with the largest contributions to this growth, adding a combined 1,282,675 residents.

The West was the only other region to experience growth in 2022, having gained 153,601 residents — an annual increase of 0.2% for a total resident population of 78,743,364 — despite losing 233,150 residents via net domestic migration (the difference between residents moving in and out of an area). Natural increase (154,405) largely accounted for the growth in the West.

The Northeast, with a population of 57,040,406, and the Midwest, with a population of 68,787,595, lost 218,851 (-0.4%) and 48,910 (-0.1%) residents, respectively. The declines in these regions were due to negative net domestic migration.

Changes in State Population Increasing by 470,708 people since July 2021, Texas was the largest-gaining state in the nation, reaching a total population of 30,029,572. By crossing the 30-million-population threshold this past year, Texas joins California as the only states with a resident population above 30 million. Growth in Texas last year was fueled by gains from all three components: net domestic migration (230,961), net international migration (118,614), and natural increase (118,159).

Florida was the fastest-growing state in 2022, with an annual population increase of 1.9%, resulting in a total resident population of 22,244,823.

“While Florida has often been among the largest-gaining states,” Wilder noted, “this was the first time since 1957 that Florida has been the state with the largest percent increase in population.”

It was also the second largest-gaining state behind Texas, with an increase of 416,754 residents. Net migration was the largest contributing component of change to Florida’s growth, adding 444,484 residents. New York had the largest annual numeric and percent population decline, decreasing by 180,341 (-0.9%). Net domestic migration (-299,557) was the largest contributing component to the state’s population decline.

Eighteen states experienced a population decline in 2022, compared to 15 and DC the prior year. California, with a population of 39,029,342, and Illinois, with a population of 12,582,032, also had six-figure decreases in resident population. Both states’ declining populations were largely due to net domestic outmigration, totaling 343,230 and 141,656, respectively.

Puerto Rico Population Changes In 2022, Puerto Rico’s population was 3,221,789. This reflects a decrease of 1.3%, or 40,904 people, between 2021 and 2022.

Puerto Rico’s population decline resulted from negative net international migration (-26,447) and negative natural change (-14,457), where deaths outnumber births.

                            **###Components of Change for States**

In 2022, 24 states experienced negative natural change, or natural decrease. Florida had the highest natural decrease at -40,216, followed by Pennsylvania (-23,021) and Ohio (-19,543). In 2021, 25 states had natural decrease.

Of the 26 states and the District of Columbia where births outnumbered deaths, Texas (118,159), California (106,155) and New York (35,611) had the highest natural increase.

All 50 states and the District of Columbia saw positive net international migration with California (125,715), Florida (125,629) and Texas (118,614) having the largest gains.

The biggest gains from net domestic migration last year were in Florida (318,855), Texas (230,961) and North Carolina (99,796), while the biggest losses were in California (-343,230), New York (-299,557) and Illinois...

The U.S. Census defines Asian Americans as individuals having origins in any of the original peoples of the Far East, Southeast Asia, or the Indian subcontinent (U.S. Office of Management and Budget, 1997). As a broad racial category, Asian Americans are the fastest-growing minority group in the United States (U.S. Census Bureau, 2012). The growth rate of 42.9% in Asian Americans between 2000 and 2010 is phenomenal given that the corresponding figure for the U.S. total population is only 9.3% (see Figure 1). Currently, Asian Americans make up 5.6% of the total U.S. population and are projected to reach 10% by 2050. It is particularly notable that Asians have recently overtaken Hispanics as the largest group of new immigrants to the U.S. (Pew Research Center, 2015). The rapid growth rate and unique challenges as a new immigrant group call for a better understanding of the social and health needs of the Asian American population.

Home care providers support the overall health and well-being of millions in the US annually. This number has been growing fast, expanding the scale and scope of home care providers in recent years. A rising number of adults 65 and older has been the primary driver behind this, as older adults are at a higher risk of developing a condition or experiencing an injury that limits their ability to perform tasks they once did independently. While changing demographic trends are an overarching trend impacting the health sector, the pandemic has permanently altered the industry's trajectory. Widespread outbreaks at residential facilities in the first year of the pandemic led more people to value remaining in their homes as they age; the interest in aging-in-place has only grown even as pandemic concerns have dissipated, as older adults look for options that provide safety and independence. In all, revenue has been expanding at a CAGR of 3.7% to an estimated $155.9 billion over the past five years, including expected growth of 3.2% in 2025. The mounting need for home care services and a shortage of home health aides create a mismatch between supply and demand that limits revenue growth. Shortages, preexisting the pandemic, have worsened as caregivers seek more flexible jobs with higher pay, creating increasingly high turnover that pressures providers to raise wages. Medicare and Medicaid reimbursements to home health agencies have been declining for several years, preventing home health agencies from raising salaries despite shortages. Clients eligible for home care services through insurance face long waits, leading more people to opt for self-directed care, where family members or friends work as caregivers. Too few caregivers prevent the industry from fully benefiting from rising demand and curtail profit growth. Trends driving growth in recent years will continue, providing various opportunities for home care providers. How home care providers capitalize on these trends will depend on insurer reimbursements and workforce development. Technology, ranging from wearables to telehealth, will have a more prominent role in the industry as providers look for ways to improve patient care while lessening the burden on staff. Regulatory and financial pressures will maintain consolidation activity, with private equity investment likely to expand. A significant headwind facing the industry will be the future of Medicare policies, the extent to which they cover home health and how states will react to Medicaid cuts in the Trump Administration's Big Beautiful Bill. Revenue will grow at a CAGR of 2.9% to an estimated $179.8 billion over the next five years.

The United States furniture market was valued at USD 37.28 Billion in 2024. The industry is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.10% during the forecast period of 2025-2034 to reach a value of USD 50.59 Billion by 2034. This market growth is mainly due to the massive investments and a renewed focus on local manufacturing across the country.

Consumers are showing a desire for better access to fashionable, affordable, and sustainable furniture, which is pushing firms to extend their reach and production capability within the country. Such events reflect broader trends in consumer shopping behavior and supply chain methodologies that are focused on speed, quality, and improved customization.

Additionally, investment plans in local factories and retail outlets enhance customer service and product availability. This makes the market stronger and fulfills the requirements of modern-day purchasers looking for affordable, quality, and convenient furniture. All these activities collectively are set to drive the United States furniture market development over the coming years.

California was the state with the highest resident population in the United States in 2024, with 39.43 million people. Wyoming had the lowest population with about 590,000 residents. Living the American Dream Ever since the opening of the West in the United States, California has represented the American Dream for both Americans and immigrants to the U.S. The warm weather, appeal of Hollywood and Silicon Valley, as well as cities that stick in the imagination such as San Francisco and Los Angeles, help to encourage people to move to California. Californian demographics California is an extremely diverse state, as no one ethnicity is in the majority. Additionally, it has the highest percentage of foreign-born residents in the United States. By 2040, the population of California is expected to increase by almost 10 million residents, which goes to show that its appeal, both in reality and the imagination, is going nowhere fast.
