Kind of surprised much of the South recorded natural declines while the Plains states recorded natural growth.

Well retirees have a long history of moving south to retire and boomers are the biggest generation so it shouldn't be a big shock.  Think of Florida as being a big elephant graveyard.

I get Florida, was thinking more of say Alabama or Tennessee which while getting some retirees isn't getting enormous numbers of them.

I'm surprised that the young people who grew up around economic recessions (including one right now), record student loan debt, a lack of affordable housing, school-shooting drills, a global pandemic, a rapidly-declining environment and (at least in 2020) President Trump wouldn't have the funds or faith to have as many children as previous generations.

I agree with some of the economic factors as well as Covid but I doubt school shooters play a big risk into decisions on whether to have kids or not. Murder rates were far higher 50-30 years ago.
