Fastest growth found in 'red' states
Maybe the free-loving, pro-choice, Democrat hippies of America need to put down the coat hangers?

Robust population growth continues to sweep the nation's Southern and Western states, according to estimates released Wednesday by the Census Bureau (news - web sites).
If the trend continues at its current pace, states in the Northeast and Midwest that have been population powerhouses since the 19th century will lose their dominance to Sun Belt states by 2010. (Related chart: Population and population trends by state)
New York, now the third most populous state, will likely be overtaken by Florida in five years. New Jersey, the 10th-largest state, could be passed by North Carolina in three.
"By 2010, none of the three most populous states will be in the North," says Robert Lang, director of the Metropolitan Institute at Virginia Tech.
The USA's population on July 1 was 293.7 million, up 1% from July 1, 2003. If that growth rate holds, the nation will have 311.7 million people in 2010. That would put growth for the decade at about 10%, compared with 13.2% in the 1990s, the highest rate since the 1960s.
States grow three ways: more births than deaths, immigration and people moving from other states.

It wouldn't be because there are more single people in big cites would it?
It makes alot of sense that the red states are becoming more populus when they pop out kids like they smoke cigarettes.

Ask anyone in real estate, the reason is because it's cheaper than the heavily populated urban areas.
You can get a new home in most states for under 200, here(bay area and most of ca.) a comparable home would be at least 600. The downside is the pay, Unless you get a transfer and get to keep your wage

Companies in CA have demonstrated their willingness to completely relocate their operations to a more freindly economic enviroment. Here in CA it is becoming more and more difficult to do business. If its not a necessity that you be located in a place that causes exhorbitant operating costs then what is the argument to stay?

The cost of business is retarded here. The biggest problem with that is the workers comp system they have set up.

I'm sure that the other great population centers that are decidedly left leaning share similar problems. All these people moving to the "Red" states can't all be coming from CA.
