标 题: Illinois Ranks as One of Worst States for Losing Citizens
发信站: BBS 未名空间站 (Mon Jan 27 19:19:48 2014, 美东)
Illinois keeps racking up those plaudits as the worst of the worst states in
the country, this time coming in second of the top states for outward
migration. Illinois has seen more of its citizens fleeing its failing
edifice than every other state but New Jersey.
This list is maintained by one of the nation’s largest moving companies,
United Van Lines and is compiled every year as the company tracks the
migrations statistics of the nation.
“As the nation’s largest household goods mover, United’s shipment data
illustrates national state-to-state migration trends,” Carl Walter, vice
president of United Van Lines said in a statement. “We’ve been tracking
the number of inbound and outbound domestic moves for nearly 40 years, and
through our study are able to identify the states that are attracting or
losing residents.”
The moving company found that for the fourth straight year, Oregon has been
one of the states most moved to, this year taking the top spot after
spending four years in second place. Following Oregon, South and then North
Carolina won second and third places. Also on the list of the most desirable
states to move to was Washington DC, South Dakota, Nevada, Texas, and
Colorado.
But for the last two years the worst list remained steady with New Jersey
and then Illinois coming in as the worst of the worst. New York was third
worst with West Virginia coming in at fourth. New Jersey, Illinois and New
York have topped the list for several years.
So, once again, Illinois comes in at one of the worst states in the USA to
live in–no surprise because the Land of Lincoln comes in at the bottom of
nearly every indicator of a successful and desirable state.
Here are just a few more of the “low lights” of Illinois’ standing among
the states:
Illinois has the most underfunded pensions in the country and faces a
deficit growth of $17 million per day.
The state also has the worst funded teachers pensions in the country.
Illinois was identified as one of the worst states in the union for its
oppressive, jobs-killing lawsuit climate
Illinois had more home foreclosures than almost every other state.
Illinois ranks as the 49th worst debtor state in the nation.
Illinois was ranked the 48th worst state for business.
Illinois ranked 48th for unemployment making it among the worst five
states for joblessness.
Its government also has one of the worst rankings for state transparency
and accountability in the nation, too.
As to big city stats, Chicago tops the nation with the highest
unemployment rate.
Illinois has the worst credit rating

1. Illinois grew by 411,399 during the 2000s—a relatively small increase
of 3.3%
The state total population went from 12.4 million in 2000 to 12.8 million in
2010. This increase of 3.3% was substantially smaller than Illinois’
increase of 8.6% during the 1990s, and was considerably lower than the 9.7%
increase during the 2000s in the total U.S. population.
2. Population growth is due to increasing Latino and Asian populations
The non-Latino white population declined by 3.0% and the non-Latino black
population dropped by 1.3%. Net population losses were prevented by
extraordinary growth in the non-Latino Asian and Latino populations, which
grew by 38.0% and 32.5%, respectively.
3. Latinos are now the state’s largest minority group
For the first time in Illinois history, the Latino population outnumbers the
black population. Latinos comprised 15.8% of the state population in 2010.
Blacks made up 14.3%. This is a dramatic shift from 2000 when blacks were 15
.0% and Latinos were 12.3% of the population.
4. Asians are the fastest growing racial/ethnic group
While the size of the Asian population is considerably smaller than other
major racial/ethnic groups, it is growing more rapidly than any of them. The
number of Asians increased from 423,032 to 583,563; a rate of growth (38.0%
) faster than any other racial/ethnic group.
5. Chicago's population is, once again, declining
The City of Chicago declined by 200,418 people during the 2000s—a 6.9%
reduction in total population. This reverses a population increase during
the 1990s, but continues a trend of population decline in the city that
began in 1950.
6. Black population decreased sharply in the Chicago area, altering its
racial mix
Chicago’s black population dropped by 17.2%, falling from 1.05 million to 0
.87 million. They remain the largest group in the city – comprising 32.4%
of the total population, but the Latino and non-Latino white populations
follow closely behind at 28.9% and 31.7% respectively.
7. State population growth occurred mostly in suburban Chicago
The five fastest growing counties were all located in the area surrounding
the city of Chicago. They were, in order: Kendall (110.4%), Will (34.9%),
Grundy (33.4%), Boone (29.6%), and Kane (27.5%). This pattern was true for
all major racial/ethnic groups, but growth in the Asian and Latino
populations in these areas was especially explosive.
8. Rapid population loss limited to rural Illinois, but growth in Latino
population
The five most rapidly declining counties were located in rural portions of
the state that were historically reliant on natural resource extraction. In
order, they were: Pulaski (-16.2%), Alexander (-14.1%), Gallatin (-13.3%),
Henderson (-10.7%), and Hardin (-10.0%). Despite net population losses in
these counties, the Latino population grew in all but one (Pulaski). Indeed,
the Latino population increased in 101 of the 102 counties in the state,
and many of the most rapid gains occurred in non-metropolitan counties, like
Scott (330.0%), Lawrence (303.7%), Clark, (218.5%), and Warren (193.9%). | c*********r
