    Florida, California and Texas Dominate Future Population Growth, While Michigan's Slow Growth Moves It out of the Top 10 Three

    Florida, California and Texas Dominate Future Population Growth, While Michigan’s Slow Growth Moves It Out of the Top 10 Three states — Florida, California and Texas — are projected to account for nearly one- half (46 percent) of the total U.S. population growth of 82 million persons between 2000 and 2030, according to Census Bureau state population projections released today. Florida, now the fourth most populous state, would edge past New York into third place in total population by 2011; California and Texas would continue to rank first and second, respectively, in 2030. Rounding out the top 5 gainers are Arizona and North Carolina. Top five fastest-growing states between 2000 and 2030 would be Nevada (114 percent), Arizona (109 percent), Florida (80 percent), Texas (60 percent) and Utah (56 percent). Only West Virginia, North Dakota and the District of Columbia are projected to lose population over this period. (See Table 1) Michigan is projected to gain 755,728 residents over the 30-year period. This increase places it 21st among the 50 States and District of Columbia. The 7.6 percent population increase that this represents ranks 40th. Further analysis of Michigan’s projections shows that the Census Bureau expects a slowing of growth over the 30-year period, culminating in losses between 2025 and 20301. The 5-year population change rates projected for Michigan, starting with 2000-2005 are: 2.7%; 2.2%; 1.6%; 0.9%; 0.2%; and –0.2%. The results of these changes on Michigan’s ranking among the States are shown in Table 2.

ARNADE HOUGH FLORIDA had been discovered by Ponce de Leon in T 1513, not until 1565 did it become a Spanish province in fact. In that year Pedro Menendez de Aviles was able to establish a permanent capital which he called St. Augustine. Menendez and successive executives had plans to make St. Augustine a thriving metropolis ruling over a vast Spanish colony that might possibly be elevated to a viceroyalty. Nothing of this sort happened. By 1599 Florida was in desperate straits: Indians had rebelled and butchered the Franciscan missionaries, fire and flood had made life in St. Augustine miserable, English pirates of such fame as Drake had ransacked the town, local jealousies made life unpleasant.

Bodner, Karla Sartor, Peter Warren and Steven Bassett September 2012 Animas Valley, New Mexico Photo: TNC Preferred Citation: Gori, D., G. S. Bodner, K. Sartor, P. Warren, and S. Bassett. 2012. Sky Island Grassland Assessment: Identifying and Evaluating Priority Grassland Landscapes for Conservation and Restoration in the Borderlands. Report prepared by The Nature Conservancy in New Mexico and Arizona. 85 p. i Executive Summary Sky Island grasslands of central and southern Arizona, southern New Mexico and northern Mexico form the “grassland seas” that surround small forested mountain ranges in the borderlands. Their unique biogeographical setting and the ecological gradients associated with “Sky Island mountains” add tremendous floral and faunal diversity to these grasslands and the region as a whole. Sky Island grasslands have undergone dramatic vegetation changes over the last 130 years including encroachment by shrubs, loss of perennial grass cover and spread of non-native species. Changes in grassland composition and structure have not occurred uniformly across the region and they are dynamic and ongoing. In 2009, The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF) launched its Sky Island Grassland Initiative, a 10-year plan to protect and restore grasslands and embedded wetland and riparian habitats in the Sky Island region. The objective of this assessment is to identify a network of priority grassland landscapes where investment by the Foundation and others will yield the greatest returns in terms of restoring grassland health and recovering target wildlife species across the region.
