Along with the 0.5% rate of population decline, New York also recorded the largest decline in pure numbers, with a drop of almost 102,000 residents, according to the U.S. Census.

New York lost more residents – and at the largest rate – in 2023 than any other state, despite an overall rise in the U.S. population, according to U.S. Census data.

The bureau released a map showing the percentage change in state populations between July 2022 and July 2023 – New York stands out as the only state colored a deep orange, a label for a percentage change of -0.5 or more.

    Back then in NY, I could get a hotdog, peanuts, and a kabob from three different food carts.

    But now, some of these food carts are now clustered together instead of being a block or two apart!

    Worse, some of these carts are offering Sriracha instead of Tabasco!

    It’s easily the fall of mankind here in NY.
