Several Southern states were in the top 10 for population growth in 2022, while the number of residents in Northeast and Midwestern states continues to dwindle.
The overall U.S. population grew by 1,256,003, or 0.4% — a return to pre-pandemic growth, according to the census. The total population of the United States sits at around 333,287,557.
The rise in population among Southern states is largely due to domestic and international migration, which was responsible for 1,282,675 residents. Florida was the largest state to grow by percentage at 1.9%, followed by Idaho at 1.8%, South Carolina at 1.7%, and Texas at 1.6%.
