Which parts of the US witnessed the highest rise in population in 2023, thanks to immigration?
US Census Bureau's recent data release reveals a noteworthy uptick in the US population, surging by 1.6 million people in the past year. This increase, constituting a 0.5% rise, is attributed to a reduction in deaths and a return to pre-pandemic immigration levels. Demographer Kristie Wilder of the bureau's population division notes, «Although births declined, this was tempered by the near 9% decrease in deaths. Ultimately, fewer deaths paired with rebounding immigration resulted in the nation experiencing its largest population gain since 2018.»
