New York State popularion Growth and the "bullshit myth" people were drive away from NY

[Historic NY]

The Right Wing NY Republicans must be choking on those words that Cuomo drove people away with high taxes, business regulations, guns, etc.

Upstate cities have been seeing growth in the past decade, reversing decades of decline. All told, New York State gained just over 400,000 people from 2010 to 2020. During that decade, New York City added over 600,000


Well, that fact seems to call the Right Wing Republican " bullshit myth" that the former Governor drove people away in droves. That NY high taxes and regulations turned people away. My county alone grew by 37,500 people. I hope ever Democrat in NY reminds people, NY has thrived even with the calamities from 911 to storms and flooding. NY Strong wasn't just the Governor saying it was what he led.

Lots of interesting facts, Yonkers is the next largest city, Westchester has a majority minority population

1. Hmmmmmm

Upstate cities have been seeing growth in the past decade, reversing decades of decline. All told, New York State gained just over 400,000 people from 2010 to 2020. During that decade, New York City added over 600,000

The state gained just over 400k and the city gained 600k how does that work?? If you live in the city you don't live in the state??

(On edit) I guess if the movement was existing population moving from rural to city might explain that some.

2. What's the source for the "400,000" figure?

I don't see it in the article cited.

When I searched for that text, I found an almost identical quote, except for the decade:

https://www.newyorkalmanack.com/2021/08/new-2020-census-numbers-an-adirondacks-ny-state-analysis/

Upstate cities have been seeing growth in the past decade, reversing decades of decline. All told, New York State gained just over 400,000 people from 2000 to 2010. During that decade, New York City added over 600,000. [...]

Also,the 400,00 figure doesn't seem to fit with the rest of the 2020 results.

3. New York Is Growing

New York City adds 629,000 people, defying predictions of its decline.

“But the near miss obscured something important: New York, it turns out, experienced modest growth last decade, up 823,000 people, or 4.2 percent, compared with 2010.”

4. Thanks. 823k makes more sense than 400k.

Still a little curious as to where the 400k figure came from.

5. From the 2010

It was one of those census where 2 times they revised stats for my town.
