When it comes to states that have been greatly hit by the recent exodus, New York City takes the lead. While some states have seen a significant rise in their overall population, New York seems to be tailing in this sector. According to the most recent census report released Monday, about 76790 cleared out of the sate between July 2018 and July 2019. This represents a loss of 0.4%, which isn’t healthy for a state of its caliber.
Again, looking at the population lost through domestic immigration in New York, the situation is even worse. The state is among the three states that lost more than 100000 to other states between July 2018 to July 2019.
According to the census data, at least 1860649 more residents left the state between the two years than those who moved in. Now, looking at the population data between 2010 and 2019, the state has seen a loss of at least 1.4 million residents to domestic migration.

Based on an analysis of the census data by the Empire Center, New York’s population currently stands at 19453561, which is below the 19530351 recorded in 2018. Despite the major population crisis facing the state, it’s still the fourth most populous state after California, Texas, and Florida. The states have a population of 39.5 million, 28.9 million, and 21.4 million respectively.
While New Jersey and Connecticut experienced net outflows of about 4000 each, in the record, New York experienced the biggest loss. The 4000 decline in these states is way below the 76790 recorded in New York.
