Migration from blue to red states is one of the great stories of the age. …
Start with the raw numbers. Between 2020 and 2024, California
(-1,465,116), New York (-966,209) and Illinois (-418,056) lost the
population equivalent of Kansas to other states. Texas (747,730) and
Florida (872,722) gained the equivalent of West Virginia. Utah, Idaho,
Arizona and North Carolina also experienced a rush of newcomers.
This chart tells the story:
The left-leaning Brennan Center estimated in December that Texas and
Florida would each gain four House seats while Utah, Idaho, North
Carolina and Arizona would each add one. California would lose four, New
York two, and Oregon, Minnesota, Illinois, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and
Rhode Island one each.
