California and New York saw the biggest losses of residents between July 1, 2020, and July 1, 2021, Census data published on March 24 show.

The loss of residents was due to a combination of deaths outweighing births—further exacerbated by the pandemic—an aging population, and an uptick in people moving to less populous or less expensive areas amid a surge in remote working.
