- JohnMakin 2y agoThere is a table that shows the cities with biggest population loss, which is what I am referencing.
- vlovich123 2y agoThat explains migration within a country which doesn’t change population counts. Unless you’re claiming that white people are moving out of America because it’s too expensive and simultaneously Hispanics are moving into a higher COL area (even if not high COL cities, America as a whole is going to be higher COL than Latin America). Based on the news I’ve been following, a more likely explanation is that Biden’s immigration policy has been more welcoming on the southern border at the same time as Latin America destabilizing quite a bit politically and generating a lot of refugee migration. I just don’t see how high COL or lack of housing being built explains the population growth being dominated by Hispanics.
- JohnMakin 2y agothat is sort of my entire point, pointing to California’s massive population loss is completely irrelevant data for the topic of this article. I don’t have the data in front of me, but I would be willing to bet a large percentage of that is not due to birth rates and is due to emigration.
- vlovich123 2y agoSure, but surely you agree that migration within a country and between countries are massively different undertakings and that things that impact one are less likely to impact the other?
