feeling a little crowded late to work more often sick of the long lines at the grocery store well then you might live in a part of America that's getting too crowded the population of the United States increased by more than two million people last year natural growth meaning people being born versus people dying accounted for most of the population increased in America while only a small part of our nation's growth was due to immigration so none of this immigration influx BS and the comments people were growing but it's not the Mexicans or the Chinese or the Zimbabweans that are the reason for most of it across individual states population growth was far from even some states are growing fast and some states are actually shrinking and it's regional to while populations in the south and west are growing the Northeast and Midwest are not we'll get to the reasons why later in order to determine the fastest growing States we simply had to measure the populations of each date from 2010 until now as we'll see some of these states might be surprisingly quickly growing and some that you think are getting way too overcrowded actually aren't growing that much at all so get ready to sit in traffic and prepare to be late for your important function as we bring you America's fastest growing States [Music] we begin our travels to the fastest-growing states in America in the state of North Carolina I live here I know North Carolina is booming part of that's due to the very pleasurable climate it's not too warm here outside of a couple sweltering months in the summer and this state gets some snow but not enough that you need to buy a snow blower it's still relatively affordable and for the most part there aren't large ghetto areas in any one large pocket and for folks in the Northeast you don't want to go all the way to Florida North Carolina's a halfway point the tech scene here is booming especially in the raleigh-durham metro area and in charlotte lots of companies are leaving California to open up technology companies here Raleigh the capital has grown 20% and Charlotte's grown 17% both are in the top ten in the u.s. they say a hundred and eighty eight people move to the Raleigh area every day I'm a transplant I'm part of the reason traffic on the 40s getting worse and worse every damn day next up on our expanding expanse takes us to Idaho Idaho yes Idaho probably California rejects here in Idaho the population is growing very rapid five point five percent since 2010 but the people in Idaho will tell you Idaho's closed now let's compare Idaho's growth rate to that of America's slowest growing state West Virginia actually West Virginia is going backwards the mountain states lost 1% of its state population in the same time frame to put that into perspective the next slowest growing states Vermont which has lost point to five percent of its population so West Virginia is by far the state that's losing the most people West Virginia is the only state where more people died than were born and is the only state where more people moved away then moved to it West Virginia has one of the oldest populations of any state as the highest death rate and one of the lowest birth rates in the country so no wonder the populations shrink in here back to Idaho it's the opposite here Idaho has a relatively high birthrate and 1/3 of its new residents moved to the potato state another interesting note Idaho's population growth is coincided with a big decline in unemployment - not sure what types of jobs you do in Idaho but there's plenty of them sorry Idaho secrets out we're gonna stay on the west side of the country as we visit our eight fastest growing state Arizona probably California rejects Arizona's population grew by six point three percent more than twice the national population growth rate much of Arizona's growth was due to new residents migrating to the state Arizona is the fourth most popular place where other Americans are moving to for the third year in a row Maricopa County led the way of all US counties for population growth this includes cities like Phoenix Mesa Chandler Scottsdale Tempe and Glendale but why out west a number of factors affect migration patterns throughout the US Americans move for economic and educational opportunities as well as quality of life factors such as a warm climate and cost of living Arizona meets that criteria it's relatively affordable its mid-sized cities have decent school systems and there's a decent number of jobs here too Arizona is just one example of how there are simply more Americans moving from the Northeast and Midwest to the south and west we're not leaving the West Coast for a while so buckle your seatbelts and stop texting and driving our next stop is the state of Washington more California rejects Washington's population has increased six point three percent since last decade Washington's strong population growth has been accompanied by a substantial increase in GDP which has grown at an average rate of 2.2% a year the fourth fastest pace of any state Washington's information sector which includes industry giants like Microsoft Amazon and Expedia grew faster than in any other state except Pennsylvania over that period Washington's also one of three states on this list with a high international population growth meaning a lot of people are moving to Washington from other countries did you know Seattle has been the nation's fastest-growing city in America for five straight years I did know that map II I've also heard the homeless population there as a result of that would you ever live on the streets and ask for money map II no I too many kids to worry about I want to provide for them that's why I work on this channel mappy you're a true American a real role model for all who want a free handout in this country thank you for setting such a good example buddy speaking of role models let's travel to our next fastest growing state in America Nevada actually Nevada's not really a role model I just needed a transition and I got lazy Nevada's population has grown at a very high clip of 6.8% also partly due to let's say it together California rejects Nevada grew by two percent last year alone so it's population is surging if we only measured very recent population growth numbers Nevada would win Nevada's also towards the top of the states in today's video in terms of international growth this article says that the Nevada desert has become an oasis for both immigrants and younger progressives who want things like legal green stuff and liberal politics it's also one of the most diverse states - a topic we covered not too long ago now there's still only 3 million people here so there's a lot of room to expand so you can bet Nevada is definitely open for business we're halfway through and we're heading to the east for the first time in a long time this time we go to the always talked about state of Florida where the population has grown 7.6 percent in 2014 Florida overtook New York as the third most populous state in the country like many of the fastest-growing states on this list Florida's rapid population growth was largely due to migration about nine of every ten new floridans either moved to the state from elsewhere in the US or from another country more people moved from New York to Florida than any other state of course there are many many many reasons why Florida is such a popular destination for Americans to move to it's hot too hot actually taxes are very favorable there's a time to do and the economy's great all right one more trip out west for a couple more stops this time we park it in Colorado where the population has grown seven point seven percent since 2010 more California rejects a net influx of 50,000 216 Americans relocated to Colorado in 2016 alone more than all but five other states the population growth occurred alongside a steep decline in unemployment to just three point three percent of the Colorado labor force is unemployed tied with Vermont as the sixth lowest unemployment rate of any state this somewhat interesting summary pointed out that Denver has the fourth most cranes of any other city it also states that people are moving here for the mountain scenery there's actually quite a few articles written about why so many people are flocking to Colorado I think I heard that somewhere once before yes are you trying to get me to comment on your figure or mobile okay you're super hot missus mappy you're like the hottest map of all maps if you move to Colorado I'm sure you'd be the hottest milf of all JK I'm not into maps come on now okay one more western state I think we've covered half of them now as we enter the confines of the always growing state of Utah California rejects no Mormons Utah's growin like a weed it's the fastest growing state over the last five years where the population has grown nearly three times the national average unlike most fast-growing states the majority of Utah's population wasn't because people move there it's due to natural growth that means babies lots and lots of babies Utah has the largest average family size in the country and coincidentally the highest Mormon population - but is it a stereotype that Mormons have a lot of babies no it's true Mormons make up nearly two-thirds of Utah's population the Mormon population typically has about 3.4 kids at home while the average American family has about 2.1 kids at home Utah's also a very healthy state so when you have the highest birth rate and the lowest death rate of any other state you're going to grow just organically hee-ha time to tussle on the great state of Texas here the population has grown eight point six percent which is just massive but it's a big state they can handle it because everything's big in Texas right it makes sense Texas is on here considering that five of the nation's 15 fastest-growing cities are all in Texas but why we'll tell you blue-collar jobs oil cheap rent cheap land low taxes diversity Family Values good weather there's no attitude and most people are friendly enough the rules are less strict here and well once you're a Texan you stick around as they say Texas is also a major destination of our emerging leaders Hispanic community which is growing faster than any other race although somewhat slower of late in case you didn't know the Hispanic population isn't growing as fast as it once was as younger generations aren't pumping them out as often of course all of this is putting a strain on Texas as infrastructure roads are clogged schools are overcrowded and well they're even running out of tacos JK that would be like chaos but today more and more people are putting GTT on their doors as they're heading to the Lone Star State for good that's gone to Texas you twerp drum roll please where is our fastest growing state in America California New York New Jersey Iowa no it's North Dakota what in tarnation North Dakota's population has surged more than 11% since the turn of the last decade which is far and above everybody else when I was a kid growing up my grandpa Lou used to tell me that I was growing so fast he'd have to put a brick on my head North Dakota needs a brick on their head most of or part of that reason has been a huge and I mean huge uptick in the number of blue-collar jobs here particularly the oil and natural gas boom people have come from all over to enjoy amazing pay low cost of living and a sense of purpose then when the gigs up they stick around and enjoy the state's freedoms like legal gambling this legal that because of all the drilling profits the state picks up the tab for a lot of stuff too so taxes are low and college kids who graduate around these parts are actually not fleeing North Dakota like they used to so now it's cool to live in North Dakota now keep in mind there's still only seven hundred and fifty seven thousand two hundred and ninety eight people here which is basically the size of Seattle and if all the oil and gas dries up you can bet things will change but for now North Dakota is the bee's knees so there you have it our fastest growing states in America the places in our fine country where people are moving to or multiplying the fastest in or both as we always do let's show the states that are actually growing the least amount or in this case actually shrinking we mentioned West Virginia and both Illinois and Vermont have also lost a few people to why are so many people leaving Illinois in Vermont let us know in the comments below so if you're in one of the states we talked about and you're feeling the pinch it's not just you it's you and you and you and you and you and you and if you're looking for somewhere to move and want to follow the crowd then be a sheep and do just that and if you're looking to move and want to make your own trail then head to places like West Virginia Vermont Illinois Wyoming and Mississippi because the lines are short for tickets to ride those places the int hey guys if you learn something new or you just like this video make sure to like it and if you really liked this video make sure you hit that subscribe button so you get all of our videos about what it's like to live in different places in America peace
