This Map Shows Which States Americans Are Moving To, 2017

With an estimated population of over 1.7 million people, Idaho is the fastest-growing state by population, according to data released by the U.S. Census Bureau. Between July 1, 2016, to July 1, 2017, Idaho’s population increased by 2.2%.

Trailing Idaho in population growth were Nevada (2% growth), Utah (1.9%), Washington (1.7%), Arizona (1.6%), Texas (1.4%), Washington D.C. (1.4%), Colorado, and Oregon (1.4%).

Of course, percentage growth differs from numeric growth — that top title went to Texas, which brought in an additional 400,000 new residents.

West Virginia and Illinois were the top 2 states whose population in numbers saw a decline, but Wyoming had the largest dip in population by 1%.

The U.S. population grew by 2.3 million to 325.7 million, a less than 1% jump in population.
