JACKSON, Miss. (WLBT) - Mississippi is one of just three states that’s lost population in the last decade, according to the 2020 Census information released this week.
Fewer folks identifying as Mississippians isn’t a shock to many.
“A lot of our friends that I grew up with left the state and didn’t come back,” said Schuyler Dixon. “What brought us back was family, but for a lot of folks whose families leave too, there isn’t much of a draw here. There has to be some kind of reason to come back, whether that’s jobs or technology.”
