When international migration slowed between 2024 and 2025, states throughout the country felt it, particularly those that relied on it most heavily for growth. The top half of Figure 3 contrasts sharply with the bottom half (2024-2025): every blue bar for NIM shrank, some significantly. Because of reduced international migration, population gain from NIM was the largest component of change in only 30 states and D.C., down from 40 states and D.C. the year before.
