According to the latest U.S. Census Bureau estimates, 17 states recorded more deaths than births between July 2024 and July 2025, up from only four states during much of the 2010s. Using U.S. Census Bureau data, Visual Capitalist's Dorothy Neufeld created this map showing natural population change in every state. Natural Population Change by StateThe table below ranks every state by natural population change between July 2024 and July 2025, highlighting where births continued to outpace deaths—and where they no longer did. Florida also recorded more deaths than births, yet remained one of America’s fastest-growing states because of migration. As America’s population ages and birth rates remain historically low, natural population growth is becoming less common.
