    You get easily over 100k people moving a year and you think this is significantly insignificant?

      It is not uncommon for Americans to move multiple times in their lifetime.

      There are around 350 million Americans, with 50 to 70 million Gen Z alone.

      In that context, yes, 100K is insignificant, being 0.0286% of the total population.

        0.0286℅ of the total gen z pop. A change in any individual states gen z population could be significantly over that amount. Adding on the fact that change is additive year after year and yeah the demographics of some states could see significant change after a decade or so.

        Take California for example. Roughly 8 million people in gen z age range. Net loss of 58,000 over 10 years that’s 580,000 people or 7.25℅ of the population.

        Also not including the fact that this is net migration. There is well over 100,000 people moving into California and that plus 58,000 leaving. Now we’re looking at a total movement of 300,000 people moving in just one generation, in just one state, in just one year.

        And aren’t you contradicting yourself by saying “It is not uncommon for Americans to move multiple times in their lifetime” and then saying only 0.0286% are moving and that’s insignificant?
