Census population estimates 2011-2019

How is MA losing population? I see new obnoxiously tacky looking condos go up every time I drive through Boston

It's not. It's the fastest growing state in the northeast.

So question, was New Jersey adjusted down? In 2017, the population was past 9 million but this 2018 Census states the population is 8.9 million while at the same time showing NJ with population growth of 0.22% from last year. Not that it matters all that much since the twelfth district is safe in 2020 but its just kind of bothering me.

Hamilton County had the highest numerical gain in Indiana (not surprised)

And RIP Illinois, New Jersey, and New York

New Jersey grew last year.

It's lower than the original 2017 estimate. Please do not correct me.

NJ's population got revised down, but it has yet to suffer negative population growth. So @Nyvin is right to correct you.

Edit:

The official numbers for NJ in the last 3 years are:

2016: 8,874,516
2017: 8,888,543
2018: 8,908,520
