Massachusetts' population is still growing

Despite significant domestic outmigration, international migration to the state and new births have continued to grow the population.

A line graph showing the overall population growth in Massachusetts between 2014 and 2024, as well as net migration change (the number of people moving into and out of the state, both from domestic migration and international migration) and net natural change (the number of births and deaths).
The Census Bureau transitioned population datasets in 2020, meaning limited data is available for that year. Total population growth also includes births and deaths.
