New York is the third largest state in population after
California and Texas, with an estimated population of 19 million residents,
which is a decrease of -more than nine thousand from the prior year and an
increase of over 1%, since the year 2000. This includes a natural increase since
the last census of 601,779 people and a decrease due to migration of over four
hundred thousand people from 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. New York is a slow growing state,
that has a large emigration rate. Yet, when looking at immigration statistics,
the state is a leading recipient of migrants from around the globe. Recently,
the population has fallen, mostly because immigration failed to surpass
emigration in 2006. However, on January 1, 2007, New York's population count
increased, giving it a slight change from 2006. This could mean that the
population will continue to increase, giving it a better chance for more house
seats, otherwise, trends will remain. New York city is a great place to visit.
