Context

The US is the third most populated country in the world, behind India and China. The population has grown steadily over the past century, though growth has slowed in recent decades due to declining birth rates and more restrictive immigration. The fastest-growing states are in the Sun Belt (Texas, Florida, Arizona), while several Northeastern and Midwestern states have experienced population decline.
