@violanorth Demographer here. MN pop will begins to decline by about 2040 if not for in migration from other states or countries. So we have 1 gen or less of growth from the people who already live here.

@janashortal @kare11 Damn. That is a cute baby.

In the US there are about 122 women for every 100 men among college graduates in the age range 25-34. After increasing for more than 40 years, the number peaked in 2010 at 129.

Last week I wrote a letter to the @nytimes responding to their April 22 article on census error and disclosure control. I guess they declined to publish it, so here it is. 1/2

Already, 9% of Ukraine's pre-war population has fled to another country. That's more than 3.7 million people, the sixth-greatest upheaval in absolute numbers in the past 60+ years. https://t.co/fCaH4qBxHD

Within weeks, I think Mississsippi will top US states on per capita covid mortality, leapfrogging Mass., NY, NJ.

The states in the northeast experienced profound mortality in 2020 before the vaccine was available.

So much mortality so deep into vax's availability, is our shame.

Life expectancy in the U.S. fell by a full year in the first half of 2020. It was the largest drop since World War II and the first full picture of the deadly consequences of the coronavirus pandemic. https://t.co/EfBd7RkLAZ

NEW: Sen. @brianschatz, D-Hawaii, tells me the Census Bureau "should take all the time it needs" to report accurate 2020 census results and he'll work with the bureau on a new Senate bill that extends legal reporting deadlines.
