TAMPA, Fla. — Nevada was the second-fastest-growing state in the U.S. between July 2013 and July 2014, according to the Census Bureau, after North Dakota.
Nevada grew by 1.71 percent during that period, compared to North Dakota’s 2.2 percent.
Florida has leapfrogged New York to rank as the third most populous U.S. state.
With 19.9 million residents, Florida surpassed New York by a slim margin to rank behind two other warm-weather states: California, population 38.8 million, and Texas, 27 million.
New York, while still growing, dropped to fourth with 19.7 million residents, the July 2014 tally found, continuing the state’s longtime slide from the top of the national rankings.
