The current U.S. population is over 340 million, a 10 million jump from the 2020 Census. While the U.S. population has shown general growth over the past few decades, population distribution throughout the nation has changed dramatically in some places recently.

For this graphic, USAFacts has put together a map showing each U.S. state’s percentage population change between 2020 and 2023.

How Has Each State Changed?

State populations are bound to fluctuate. But in recent years, the population of some states, such as Idaho, has grown by as much as 6%.

Below is a list of each state and the percentage change in its population between 2020 and 2023.

State % Change (2020–2023)
Alabama 1.5%
Alaska 0.1%
Arizona 1.8%
Arkansas 1.8%
California -1.4%
Colorado 1.6%
Connecticut 1.1%

High Growth in Idaho and Florida

Many states saw their populations grow, some by as little as 0.1% in Massachusetts and Maryland, but many have grown much more.

Montana’s population grew by 4.2% between 2020 and 2023. There are many reasons why people might move to Montana, but the state’s beauty, lack of sales tax, and lower property taxes undoubtedly powered its growth.

Texas also saw a 4.3% growth, possibly due to the many job opportunities in energy, software, and technology available in the state. However, Florida and Idaho saw the most significant percentage growth: 4.7% and 6.2%, respectively.

The weather in Florida, lack of state income tax, and lower cost of living make it a tempting opportunity for many Americans, particularly retirees who make up 21% of the state’s population.  

Idaho’s population grew for similar reasons, particularly job opportunities and a favorable tax environment.  

Taxes and Jobs: The Reasons People Move

While America’s population has grown consistently over the past few decades, some states, like New York and Illinois, have seen their populations decrease. However, many states, such as Idaho and Florida, have grown in population, particularly with favorable tax conditions, job opportunities, and a lower cost of living.

This graphic shows the 10 most-streamed programs in America in 2024 by minutes viewed.

The data comes from Nielsen. Streaming data was collected from Jan. 1 to Dec. 29, 2024.

What Was the Most Popular Streamed Show of 2024?

Bluey—an Australian animated series about a lovable blue puppy and her family—topped the charts, with Americans streaming over 55 billion minutes in 2024

The children’s show has been touted for its engaging storylines, positive role models, and cross-generational appeal, making it a favorite among both kids and parents.

Crime and procedural shows, such as Grey’s Anatomy, NCIS, Criminal Minds, and Law & Order: SVU, also dominate the list.

These shows offer episodic, easy-to-watch formats that make them highly bingeable and appealing to long-term viewers.

When it comes to hosting the most binged titles of 2024, Hulu—one of the priciest TV streaming subscriptions—leads the pack, followed by Paramount+ and Netflix.

In 2023, the U.S. beer industry shipped the equivalent of 2.6 billion 24-packs, driving over $135 billion in retail sales.

Overall, domestic producers accounted for 79% of the market, with legacy American brands leading in popularity in most states according to search data. However, some outliers showed a strong preference for distinctive brands like Blue Moon and Guinness.

This graphic shows the most popular beer by state, based on data from Coffeeness.

Meanwhile, Heineken was the most popular in Florida and New York. It also ranks as the top beer brand among millennials across the country.

Notably, Budweiser and Bud Light generated minimal search interest overall, standing as the top ranking beer in a combined four states. In 2023, Bud Light was dethroned by Modelo Especial as the top-selling beer in America by retail sales amid marketing controversy, after holding this title for many years.

Map of the U.S. that uses data from Immigrations and Customs Enforcement to show daily population of ICE detention centers in February 2025.

Mapped: How Many People Are ICE Detaining?

This was originally posted on our Voronoi app. Download the app for free on iOS or Android and discover incredible data-driven charts from a variety of trusted sources.

The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is a federal law enforcement agency under the Homeland Security umbrella. Its duty is to enforce federal laws regarding border control, customs, trade, and immigration. However, today, ICE detentions have been at the center of a national conversation due to aggressive deportations.

This chart, created by USAFacts, explores the average daily population of ICE detention centers in February 2025.

Who Are ICE?

ICE, established in 2002 as a  Department of Homeland Security division, enforces U.S. customs and trade laws. It also manages programs to identify, arrest, and unlawfully remove people in the country. 

ICE controls 122 detainee holding centers nationwide, a quarter of which are in states along the US-Mexico border. 

However, the most populated centers include the Adams County Detention Center in Natchez, Mississippi (2,148 average daily detainees in February 2025); the South Texas ICE Processing Center in Pearsall, Texas (1,666); and the Stewart Detention Center in Lumpkin, Georgia (1,559). 

Many ICE detentions occurred in February 2025. Below is a table showing the average daily population in ICE detention centers during that month.

ICE Detentions in Recent Years

Between October 2014 and November 2024, ICE detentions totaled 3.62 million, which involved physically transferring people to detention facilities.

Book-ins were highest in 2019, at 510,850. But, they were at a 10-year low in 2020—the first year of the pandemic—at 182,870. Mexican citizens comprised the largest share of people booked (31.1%), followed by Guatemalans (17.1%) and Hondurans (12.8%).

Between October 2018 and November 2024, about 29.0% of detainees had a criminal record in the United States. In the previous year, among those detainees with criminal records, 43.8% were convicted of misdemeanors, 35.2% of felonies, and 17.0% of aggravated felonies.

A National Conversation

ICE aims to enforce the U.S. federal border control laws regarding customs, trade, and immigration. However, the agency has been at the center of a national conversation over the aggressive deportations of many foreign nationals.

 Housing Market Snapshot: Price Changes by State

Key Takeaways

  • The five states with the fastest-growing prices were all in the Northeast, apart from Wyoming.
  • Mississippi was the only state to see a drop in home prices from 2023 to 2024.
  • In nearly all states, the housing market has risen faster than real GDP growth (2.5%) and inflation (2.9%).

U.S. housing prices rose 4.5% from the fourth quarter of 2023 to the fourth quarter of 2024. But which states were booming, and which ones were cooling?

This Markets in a Minute graphic, in partnership with Terzo, highlights how housing prices have shifted in each state over the last year.

State-by State Housing Market Data

The Federal Housing Finance Agency measures average price changes in repeat sales or refinancings on the same properties. It’s a broad measure of the shifts in single-family house prices.

Rank State House Price Change, Q4 2023-Q4 2024
1 Connecticut 8.3%
2 New Jersey 8.3%
3 Wyoming 8.3%
4 Vermont 8.1%
5 Rhode Island 7.6%
6 Illinois 7.5%
7 New Hampshire 7.3%
8 New York 7.1%
9 Maine 6.9%
10 Wisconsin 6.9%
11 Montana 6.8%
12 Nebraska 6.7%
13 Ohio 6.7%
14 Kentucky 6.7%
15 Nevada 6.7%
16 Idaho 6.5%
17 Pennsylvania 6.3%
18 Maryland 6.1%
19 Indiana 6.0%
20 Massachusetts 5.8%
21 Kansas 5.7%
22 Virginia 5.7%
23 New Mexico 5.4%
24 Iowa 5.3%
25 South Carolina 5.3%
26 West Virginia 5.1%
27 Alaska 5.0%
28 Delaware 4.8%
29 Minnesota 4.8%
30 Alabama 4.8%
31 Georgia 4.8%
32 North Carolina 4.8%
33 Tennessee 4.8%
34 Utah 4.7%
35 Missouri 4.7%
36 Michigan 4.6%
37 Hawaii 4.0%
38 District of Columbia 3.8%
39 Washington 3.5%
40 Oklahoma 3.4%
41 Arkansas 3.4%
42 North Dakota 3.1%
43 Oregon 3.0%
44 South Dakota 2.9%
45 Texas 2.3%
46 California 2.2%
47 Florida 2.2%
48 Colorado 1.9%
49 Arizona 1.2%
50 Louisiana 0.5%
51 Mississippi -0.2%

The highest housing market growth was primarily in Northeastern states like Connecticut, New Jersey, and Vermont. These states have inventory far below pre-pandemic levels, and higher incomes that are better able to support higher home costs.

Outside the Northeast, Wyoming is the only state to make the top five fastest-growing housing markets. The state faces low housing supply driven by a growing population and a low supply of affordable housing. Areas around Yellowstone National Park are particularly desirable with some properties seeing multi-million dollar price tags.

At the other end of the scale, the only housing market to see a drop in home prices was Mississippi. The population was flat from 2023 to 2024, and the state has seen an increase in housing inventory.

A Resilient Market

Despite elevated interest rates driving up mortgage costs, the housing market has been resilient. Most states saw home prices rise faster than real GDP growth (2.5%) and inflation (2.9%).

Infographic: How Reliant Are Foreign Automakers on U.S. Buyers?

This was originally posted on our Voronoi app. Download the app for free on iOS or Android and discover incredible data-driven charts from a variety of trusted sources.

Key Takeaways

  • Honda has the highest exposure to the U.S. market, with 39% of its 2024 sales coming from America
  • Many brands generate more than a quarter of their sales in the U.S.

With global automakers facing uncertainty from U.S. auto tariffs, the importance of American car buyers has never been clearer. For many automakers, the U.S. is a key market responsible for over one quarter of revenue.

In this graphic, we visualize how reliant foreign automakers are on U.S. buyers, based on analysis from the Wall Street Journal.

Data & Discussion

The data we used to create this graphic is listed in the table below.

Please note that April-December 2024 data was used for Toyota, Honda, and Nissan. North American data was used for VW, Audi, Porsche, and Hyundai.

Brand U.S. Share of Total Sales
🇯🇵 Honda 39%
🇰🇷 Hyundai 29%
🇯🇵 Nissan 28%
🇩🇪 Porsche 28%
🇰🇷 Kia 28%
🇮🇹 Ferrari 25%
🇯🇵 Toyota 25%
🇩🇪 BMW 17%
🇸🇪 Volvo 16%
🇩🇪 Mercedes-Benz 16%
🇩🇪 Audi 14%
🇩🇪 Volkswagen 12%

Based on this dataset, Honda has the highest reliance on U.S. buyers. In 2023, the Japanese automaker saw its U.S. sales surge by 33%.

Honda has committed over $1 billion to retool its Ohio manufacturing plants to be able to produce gasoline, hybrid, and EV models all on the same production line.

Additionally, in partnership with LG Energy Solution, Honda is investing $4.4 billion in a new battery production facility in Ohio.

A Background on U.S. Auto Tariffs

According to S&P Global Mobility, almost half of new vehicles sold in the U.S. in 2024 were assembled outside of the country.

The top five countries ranked by their value of U.S. vehicle imports are:

  • Mexico ($78.5B)
  • Japan ($39.7B)
  • South Korea ($36.6B)
  • Canada ($31.2B)
  • Germany ($24.8B)

Trump’s auto tariffs are intended to coerce automakers into moving their production to the U.S., though this is difficult in practice due to the complexity and globalization of modern supply chains.

Automakers often rely on a vast network of international suppliers for parts and materials, and relocating entire production lines can take years and require massive capital investment.

One automotive executive, speaking anonymously with CNN, stated that it takes at least three years for brand new automotive capacity to be constructed. By that time, a new administration could be in power, and the rules could change again.
