Outbound Americans, Inbound Migrants: Inside Michigan’s Changing Demographics

Описание: Outbound Americans, Inbound Migrants: Inside Michigan’s Changing Demographics
Michigan just hit a record population of 10.14 million—but here's what the headlines aren't telling you. Every single person added to Michigan's population in 2024 came from international migration. The state gained 67,608 net international migrants while losing 7,656 domestic residents to other states. Deaths exceeded births by 2,855. Do the math: without international immigration, Michigan would have lost over 10,000 residents in one year. Since 2020, Michigan has lost 106,000 net domestic residents while gaining 164,500 international migrants. This isn't population growth—it's population replacement. Americans are leaving Michigan for Florida, Texas, and Indiana while international migrants fill the void. Governor Whitmer celebrates "record growth" while ignoring that Michigan ranks 41st in domestic migration—meaning 40 states are more attractive to Americans than Michigan.The data gets worse. By 2050, Michigan is projected to lose 206,000 residents in the optimistic scenario. In a zero-migration scenario, the state could lose 692,000 people—nearly 7% of the current population. Fifty-eight of Michigan's 83 counties will have smaller populations by 2050. Detroit has already lost 63% of its population since 1950. The state's fertility rate is 1.4 children per woman—far below the 2.1 replacement level. Deaths now exceed births statewide for the first time since the 1940s. Young, educated, high-earning professionals are fleeing Michigan's high taxes, forced-union policies, and struggling economy for states with better opportunities. Michigan ranks 42nd in employment growth and 46th in private sector job growth. This is demographic collapse disguised as growth—and the mainstream media won't tell you the truth.
