Since 2020. What the heck is going on down there?
SEC states by population change 2020-2022:
3.03%- Florida
2.94%- S Carolina
2.73%- Texas
1.82%- Tennessee
1.71%- Georgia
1.38%- Oklahoma
1.04%- Arkansas
0.85%- Alabama
0.54%- NATIONAL AVG
0.39%- Missouri
0.11%- Kentucky
-0.61%- Mississippi
-1.32%- Louisiana
Worth noting, California has lost 1.2% of its population. Only Illinois (-1.60%) and New York (-2.14%) have lost people at a higher rate than Louisiana.
Basically the entire South is booming except for LA and MS.

Crime and poverty. Poor infrastructure and schools. You name it

Back-to-back hurricanes.

I'm assuming that Florida is probably retirees — just out of curiosity, why is South Carolina so high?

My community (Orgeron’s) home was decimated by two hurricanes. Still hard to imagine 20,000 citizens without a hospital. I’m never there but heard estimates of 25% of population have left.

Florida is partly retirees, but South Florida is booming with high net worth transplants from New York fleeing the taxes and Covid lockdowns. Miami is flooded with NYC Wall Street types who can work from home.
South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, N Carolina is also partly retirees (not near the level of FL) but again, mostly folks from up north fleeing taxes and cold weather

In Florida little old ladies know how to be on guard for gators
Seems they are migrating North and eating the little old ladies up there

Interesting.

It’s also worth noting that Louisiana and Kentucky locked down harder during Covid than other southern states. And their growth rates have suffered. New Orleans had vaccine passport requirements. Both those states kept schools closed longer.
Meanwhile the free states of FL and GA benefited from their curtailing of freedoms.

That's terrible, brother. Better days ahead.

shite schools, shite roads, highest car insurance rates in the country with hurricanes basically killing the entire private homeowners insurance market, the two biggest cities are top 5 in the country for murder rates IIRC. Politicians would rather devote time and resources to require their citizens upload their IDs to access pornhub than fix any of the aforementioned issues.
Place is a shithole. I'd leave too if it weren't for family and job reasons tying me here.

Cost of living and weather are two huge factors for SC. Most people moving from the North are tired of the cold.

The reality is it's a republican state with democratic leaders and they don't have the natural resources of other democrat states so Latoya Cantrell has led Nola to the murder capital of the country and John Bel Edwards is a 2 term governor who's working for that lifetime democrat job so he crippled the economy in the name of Covid.
fricking awful leadership. Just incredibly fricking terrible.
We loved our home and left for Florida

Yep.
We had a Cat 5 a few years ago. It seems like half the Dr's left and aren't coming back. I know a few dozen "working class" people that got the hell out of dodge.

Left last May.
Tired of dealing with:
- Crime & safety issues
- High car insurance rates
- Hurricanes
- Shitty job market
- Shitty roads
- Shitty government that nickels and dimes you every chance they get
- Shitty public services
- Shitty public schools
We moved to northwest Alabama and literally everything is better here except the food.

People from Louisiana tell me it is terrible back home. Crime, rampant drug use, poverty, STDs, bad roads, you name it, they say it is happening in Louisiana.
Most of their refugees end up in Texas.
