Mississippi Population Fact Sheet
Mississippi Fact Sheet Population Growth, Millennials, Brain Drain, and the Economy A Report to the Governor Dr. Mimmo Parisi Professor of Demography Department of Sociology Mississippi State University January 19, 2018 2017 Population Growth by the Numbers Population growth depends on multiple factors that includes Population Growth = (Births-Deaths) + (Net Domestic Migration + Net numbers of births and deaths, net International Migration) domestic migration, and net international migration. How each factor contributes to population Population Growth = (37,373 – 30,875) + (-9,885 + 2,087) growth must be seen in relation to the others. All factors must be Population Growth = 6,498 – 7,798 examined together to provide an accurate picture of any population Population Growth = -1,300 estimate. Also, all factors must be seen in the context of national trends to fully understand the magnitude of their impact on a given state. The estimates presented in the following slides provide detailed information on each factor that contributes to population growth, along with information on millennials, brain drain, and overall state economic indicators. Source: U.S. Census Bureau, Population Division, 2017. https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/popest/datasets/2010-2017/national/totals/ 3 Mississippi Population, 2000-2017 The estimates for 2016 and 2017 indicate that the population declined by 1,300. This decline is within the estimation margin of error and it will be revised next year, therefore this number needs to be interpreted cautiously. It also means that there has been no substantive decline in total population. The only conclusion one can draw from these estimates is that the Mississippi total 3,000,000 2,988,578 population has remained fairly stable.

Mississippi Kite (Ictinia Mississippiensis)
Mississippi Kite (Ictinia mississippiensis) NMPIF level: Species Conservation Concern, Level 2 (SC2) NMPIF assessment score: 15 NM stewardship responsibility: Low National PIF status: No special status New Mexico BCRs: 16, 18, 35 Primary breeding habitat(s): Urban (southeast plains) Other habitats used: Agricultural, Middle Elevation Riparian Summary of Concern Mississippi Kite is a migratory raptor that has successfully colonized urban habitats (parks, golf courses, residential neighborhoods) in the western portion of its breeding range over the last several decades. Little is known about species ecology outside of the breeding season and, despite stable or increasing populations at the periphery of its range, it remains vulnerable due to its small population size. Associated Species Cooper’s Hawk, Ring-necked Pheasant, Mourning Dove, American Robin Distribution Mississippi Kite is erratically distributed across portions of the east and southeast, the southern Great Plains, and the southwest, west to central Arizona and south to northwest Chihuahua. It is most abundant in areas of the Gulf Coast, and in the Texas and Oklahoma panhandles. The species is a long- distance migrant, wintering in Argentina, Paraguay, and perhaps other locations in South America. In New Mexico, Mississippi Kite is most common in cites and towns of the southeast plains. It is also present in the Middle Rio Grande valley north to Corrales, and the Pecos River Valley north to Fort Sumner and possibly Puerto de Luna (Parker 1999, Parmeter et al. 2002). Ecology and Habitat Requirements Mississippi Kite occupies different habitats in different parts of its range, including mature hardwood forests in the southeast, rural woodlands in mixed and shortgrass prairie in the Great Plains, and mixed riparian woodlands in the southwest.
