The United State Census Bureau has released some interesting data about population shifts that occurred in 2021 due, in part, to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. First up, the Census Bureau’s data shows a staggering 73% of America’s 3,143 counties experienced what is known as “natural decrease” in 2021.

Natural decrease occurs in a defined area (such as a county) when more people died than were born. Astonishingly, every single county in Delaware, Maine, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island experienced natural decrease in 2021, driven by increased mortality from the pandemic, fewer births, and an aging population.

...

The biggest loser due to these trends was Los Angeles County, California, which saw a decrease of 159,621 residents in 2021. Texas, on the other hand, had a banner year: Half of the top 10 U.S. counties that saw the largest net population gains in 2021 were located in the Lone Star State. Together Collin, Fort Bend, Williamson, Denton, and Montgomery counties saw a population increase totaling 145,663.

Fascinating  map.

Here in Texas it does not go unoticed, that Dallas, Harris, Bexar counties are all nuetral colors, while their surrounding counties are heavy green.

Escaping crime and defective left wing local politics is a major demographic driver.

Yup.  That's true for the 3 AZ dark greens:  Yavapai, Mohave and Pinal (which has a sliver of the Phoenix metro area).

Ohio looks like people are leaving outskirts and gravitating toward Columbus.
