The Mainland Exodus

[jdirgo]

Interesting. If you look here though, http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/15000.html
you see that between 2000 and 2006, the population GREW by over 6% or about 74,000 people.

Moot point, but the vagueness of the statistic is still real.

So, we added 74,000 people in the six years up to 2006 and then in the year ending July 1, 2007 (the most recent July 1st the article could be referencing) it dropped down to an increase of 64,000. Calculating it out, that means that in the 7 years prior, population still increased by about 5.3%.
