South Carolina had the highest population growth over a single year.

The Census Bureau published on Tuesday population changes from July 1, 2024, to July 1, 2025, and most states grew in size but at a slower pace than in 2024.

You can hover over the states and Washington, DC, in the map below to see how populations changed.

South Carolina's population grew 1.5%, driven by more people moving in from elsewhere in the US than out to other areas of the country. Meanwhile, Vermont shrank 0.3%, due to more deaths than births and more people moving out elsewhere in the US than moving in from other areas of the country.

A Census Bureau news release said that the overall population increased in each of the four regions, but the Midwest was the only one where every state climbed.

"From July 2024 through June 2025, the Midwest also saw positive net domestic migration for the first time this decade," Marc Perry, senior demographer at the Census Bureau, said per the news release.

Perry added that while more people moving in from elsewhere in the US than leaving for somewhere else in the country was modest in the Midwest, "this is still a notable turnaround" from previous losses.
