The U.S. experienced a population increase of more than 10 million people from 2010 to 2014, of which approximately 60 percent was due to a natural increase and 40 percent was due to net migration. Three out of eleven states experienced a greater net migration than natural increase, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee. Three states experienced a negative domestic migration over the four-year period, Kentucky, Louisiana and Mississippi. The state of Mississippi is the only state in the Southeast Region that experienced a negative net migration (combining both international and domestic migration).

The Hispanic/Latino population growth from 2010 to 2014 in the U.S. was 9.7 percent.
