Illinois population decreased in 2019 by an estimated 51,250 people, or 0.4%, marking the sixth consecutive year the state has lost residents, according to new data from the U.S. Census Bureau.

Since the turn of the decade, Illinois has lost more residents than any other state, with a drop of about 159,700 people, or 1.2% of its population. Only three other states have shrunk since 2010: Connecticut, Vermont and West Virginia with West Virginia losing the largest share of its residents, a 3.3% decline.

Puerto Rico, a U.S. territory, has lost an estimated 532,463 people since 2010, or 14.3% of its population.

Population losses in Illinois have been compounding since 2014, when the state began a steady, though not precipitous, decline. Illinois is the sixth-most-populous state in the nation, after California, Texas, Florida, New York and Pennsylvania, which passed Illinois in 2017. Ohio is seventh, followed by Georgia and North Carolina.

As someone who lives in IL I'm honestly surprised at that number, I'd have guessed it to be higher. There's not a lot of perks to living in IL but at least we get legal pot starting tomorrow.

CRAZY because I was just talking to two friends the other day who wanted to move out and they both said Colorado is their #1.

Illinois sucks. It has the same terrible government/high taxation as California but the weather is terrible.

Tell them we're full. Locals are sick of transplants. They have been jacking up rent prices and making traffic unbearable.

Is there any other state where there's so much intrastate disdain among residents? The country folk hate Chicago, and people from Chicago hate the rest of the state.

As someone who moved to Denver a few years ago, this native elitism seen in Colorado is annoying.

I'm not shocked that West Virginia has lost the highest percentage of residents. With a coal-dependent economy in a growing renewable energy market, it has to be tough to make a living there. The natural gas boom has to help a little though.

I may be wrong. The people I know from Chicago tend to look down on those from the rural south.

Well I'm sure some idiots do. Same ones that are paying outrageous rent to live a block away from the ghetto because they think it's cooler than staying in the suburbs where they grew up.

Chicago is what fucks up the rest of the state.

lol it happens every where

eventually the townies become outnumbered by transplants and it goes away though and you get cool places with actual mulitcultural cities
