Wisconsin Nets Over 12,000 People During 12 Month Period

Wisconsin gained over 12,000 people during the 12 month period from July of 2021 to July of 2022 according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

Most of those people moved here from another state or country.

The actual gross gain of new people was even higher when you take into account that Wisconsin lost over 1700 people through the difference of births and deaths. 1758 more people died than were born in the state during that 12 month period.

According to the statistics, of the 15,831 people who migrated to Wisconsin in the last year, the Census Bureau says 8,174 migrated internationally, and 7,657 people came from other states.

While Wisconsin gained people, Illinois lost over 100,000 people during the same time period. Michigan lost 3,391. Iowa added 2,828. Minnesota added 5,713 and Indiana added the most of Wisconsin border states at 19,505.

Overall, the Census Bureau’s numbers show the Midwest lost 48,910 people over the past year. The Northeast lost the most, with a drop of almost 219,000.
The West grew by 151,000 people, but it was the South that grew the most. Southern states added 1.3 million people in the 12 month period.
