Kansas is one of 18 states to see a decline in population between July 2021 and July 2022, according to the Census Bureau. The Sunflower State is alone in population loss in the region. The closest Midwestern state on the list is Illinois. Negative domestic migration, or more U.S. residents leaving a state than moving in, is a primary cause of the decline… Nebraska is the only neighboring state that had negative migration, losing 4,270, but still managed a population increase of about 4,000 people.
