Loling at the fact the quad cities is growing faster than Miami

We need to stop prioritizing parking lots over people.

Today, I assembled a roundtable to discuss our Building Up Illinois Developments Plan — and the consensus was that we need to act fast.

Looking forward to passing it and getting to work in our neighborhoods.

U.S. Population Growth Slows Due to Historic Decline in Net International Migration U.S. population growth slowed to 0.5% between July 1, 2024, and July 1, 2025, according to the newly released Vintage 2025 population estimates.

A very interesting year for sure, and I’m curious as to what the city data looks like, though we’ll have to wait a few months before we get it. Thanks for reading!

California, Vermont, New Mexico, Hawaii, and West Virginia all saw population decreases. New Mexico and California saw growth in 2024 only to decline in 2025. Only one state went from negative population growth in 2024 to positive population growth in 2025 - Mississippi.

In contrast, states like Ohio and Michigan have seen a reversal in their domestic migration trends, seeing positive growth after declining at the start of the decade.

In the case of second place Florida, though, the state continues to see a decrease in domestic migration. In 2022, the net domestic change was +310,892. In 2025, that change was only +22,517; a decrease of 92.76%.

In terms of numeric change, Texas added the most people at +391,243. Second place was Florida at +196,680, and third place was North Carolina.

The fastest growing state in 2025 was South Carolina, growing at a rate of 1.5% (+79,958). Idaho and North Carolina were second and third at a rate of 1.4% (+28,861) and 1.3% (+145,907), respectively.

Now let’s move on to the state by state data. 45 states and DC saw population growth in 2025. Of the 10 largest states, only California saw a small population decrease.

The Midwest is the only region this year that saw every state grow in population. It also saw net positive domestic migration for the first time this decade, at a rate of +16,000. Overall, the region grew by 244,385.

In terms of the regional population growth, the south remains the fastest growing at 0.9%. All 4 regions saw population growth, though at slower rates than in 2024.

This change comes from a drop in international migration; though the levels still remain positive. The state’s with the largest change in international migration were Florida (+178,674), Texas (+167,475) and California (+109,278).

For starters, the U.S population went from 340 million to 341.8 million. This is a change of 0.5%, the slowest growth since 2021, and down from the 1% change we saw in 2024.

New Census Estimates for 2025 have been released, let’s talk about it 🧵

Been a while since I’ve posted here but I made some art of me and my girlfriend the other day :3

That’s exactly what’s going to happen though. The DOJ has had these for months there’s no way they haven’t been scrubbing Trump’s name out of them.

i think its a beautifully composed shot

Interesting thought experiment for y'all: could a city in this country ever top NYC as the most populous? I don't mean anytime soon of course, I just mean at any point in the future. If yes, which city could do it?

Hey bluesky I have once again neglected this site for a bit. Have some photos from my NYC adventure last week
