Demographics Of New York
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, as of 2010, New York was the third largest state in population after California and Texas, with a population of 19,378,102, an increase of over 400,000 people, or 2.1%, since the year 2000. The population change between 2000-2006 includes a natural increase of 601,779 people (1,576,125 births minus 974,346 deaths) and a decrease due to net migration of 422,481 people out of the state. Immigration from outside the United States resulted in a net increase of 820,388 people, and migration within the country produced a net loss of about 800,213. This means a very small population change for the state.
New York is a slow growing state with a large emigration rate. Yet, when looking at immigration statistics, the state is a leading recipient of migrants from around the globe. In the mid-2000s, immigration failed to surpass emigration, a trend that was halted in 2006-2007. New York lost two house seats in the 2011 congressional reapportionment.
The center of population of New York is located in Orange County, in the town of Deerpark. Roughly 64% of the state's population lives in the New York City metropolitan area and 43% in New York City alone.
