U.S. Census: Jasper County Leads U.S. in Population Growth Amid Nationwide Cooldown
Small coastal Southeast counties grew over 4% from mid-2024 to mid-2025 due to domestic migration while large counties saw immigration drop by up to 48%, Census data shows.
- On Thursday, the U.S. Census Bureau released data showing small coastal Southeast counties experienced the largest population gains between mid-2024 and mid-2025, primarily driven by residents relocating from larger metropolitan areas.
- Jasper County, South Carolina, led the nation with 6 percent growth to 38,533 residents, with development director Eric Larson citing an influx of workers for nearby factories and retirees drawn by lower living costs.
- Domestic migration fueled significant increases in other regions, including Collin County, Texas, up 42,966; Montgomery County, Texas, up 30,011; and Wake County, North Carolina, up 27,760 residents.
- Net immigration declined significantly as the Trump administration stopped accepting asylum-seekers starting last year, and no counties of any size reported increased immigration levels compared to the previous year.
- Immigration drops were sharp in major regions, with Harris County, Texas, down 41 percent and Maricopa County, Arizona, down 48 percent; King County, Washington, and Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, also saw decreases.
