Population growth has slowed for years due to lower birth rates and declining net international migration, while mortality rates are increasing due to the aging of the country’s population“, He said Kristie Wilder, a demographer with the Population Division of the Census Bureau.

“Now, with the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, this combination has resulted in a historically slow growth rate“, added quoted in a statement.

Between 2020 and 2021, the population increased in 33 states and decreased in 17, while in 11 states the population fell above 10,000 people, another historical data, according to the Census report.

Along the same lines, between July 2020 and July 2021, the growth was due to “natural increase”, as the difference between the number of births and deaths is called, and that was placed in 148,043 people. During that period, the migratory differential it was of 244.622 (the difference between the number of people entering the country and the number leaving).
