Title: Population by States
Post by: JohnyMac on December 31, 2013, 11:22:13 AM

I ran across this link (http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/12/30/census-state-population-estimates-growth/4248089/) today that shows the current population (As of July 1, 2013) of each state and compares the growth two ways; 2013 vs 2010 census and 2013 vs 2000 census.

If you don't have time to check out your state here is a observation that jumped out to me. Below is  the growth of the nine* states with no personal income tax.

State                    2013 vs. 2010             2013 vs.2000
Alaska                              1.1%                         8.7%
Florida                              4.0                          22.3
New Hampshire *               0.5                           7.1
Nevada                             3.3                          39.6
S. Dakota                          3.8                          11.9
Tennessee *                      2.4                          14.2
Texas                               5.2                          26.8
Washington                       3.7                          18.3
Wyoming                          3.4                          18.0

Keep in mind that the average growth for 2013 vs. 2010 census is 2.2% and for 2013 vs. 2000 is 11.8%.

Now for the states with the highest personal income tax.

State                    2013 vs. 2010             2013 vs.2000
California (12.3%)              2.9%                        13.2%
Hawaii (11%)                    3.2                           15.9
New Jersey (9%)                1.2                            5.8
Iowa (9%)                         1.4                            5.6
Vermont (9%)                    0.1                            3.0
New York (8.8%)                1.4                            3.6

Interesting stuff  :o

* No personal income tax BUT has a tax on capital gains
