For the first time in Illinois’ history, the Land of Lincoln has officially lost population as reported by the ten-year Census. The state also loses one member from the U.S. House of Representatives.
Census Chief Karen Battle said Illinois was one of three states that lost population over the past decade.
“We know that from our population estimates program that the state of Illinois actually had negative net domestic migration,” Battle said.

This shows why Davis will likely lose statewide. He tried to sound reasonable but just can’t keep himself from saying that Dems promote corruption. GQP mouthpiece.
The Governor may say college students leaving is the main driver but unfortunately I know a lot of retirees that have left because of the property taxes. Many retirees don’t want to go on paying tens of thousands of dollars on a property they already paid for. Several other states have no or little retirement income tax plus lower to no property taxes.
