In an Associated Press article about immigrants keeping the largest urban counties in the U. S. growing in 2024,?the Carsey School's Senior Demographer Kenneth Johnson commented?“A substantial excess of births over deaths has long been the primary driver of U.S. population growth, but as this surplus dwindled in the last four years immigration provided the bulk of the nation’s population increase...."Nationwide, last year’s natural growth was less than half the average gain of 1.2 million people that the country experienced in the five years before the pandemic. These recent levels of natural decrease are unprecedented.”?
