States of the States: Demographic Insights & Trends
  .. resources to create and apply insights

Explore longer-term U.S. population shifts with our interactive iVDA map and data table. Tracking national and state trends from the 1970 through 2020 Censuses alongside Vintage 2025 estimates, this resource breaks down critical components of population change. Designed for both begining researchers and advanced data analysts, these up-to-date demographic measures by age are designed to help you optimize your target marketing and make data-driven decisions. Did you know that the population growth in Texas from 1970 to 2025 is nearly double what its entire population was in 1970? Or, that the population of Arizona in 2025 has grown by more than 300% of its 1970 population?

Population growth hit a historic low in 2021 due to pandemic-related disruptions, surged significantly through 2024 due to a sharp increase in net international migration, and slowed down again in 2025 as immigration rates leveled off.

Natural Change
Natural change is the difference between births and deaths for an area. Often natural change is positive which means that there are more births that deaths for a year or period. This positive natural change is referred to as natural increase. Examples of natural increase exist across the U.S.

The opposite of natural increase, natural decrease, occurs where there are more deaths than births resulting in population decrease. Areas with aging populations often have natural decrease.

Migration
Migration is the movement of people from one area to another. It is often expressed as net migration, which is the difference between how many people move into and out of an area. When net migration is positive, a population has more people moving in than out. Migration is split into domestic migration and international migration.

Domestic migration refers to people moving between areas within the U.S., and is often one of the largest contributors to population change.

International migration refers to people moving into and out of the U.S., and consists of a diverse group of people such as foreign-born immigrants from many countries around the world, members of the U.S. Armed Forces, and U.S. citizens working abroad.

Adding the net domestic and net international migration yields the net migration.

Components of Change
Analyzing the components of change is an enlightening way to understand how the U.S. population is shifting over time. Looking at areas across the country, we can identify groups of areas that grow (or decline) mainly due to migration and others that grow due to natural increase.
