The Census Bureau has released the annual population change estimates for 2006 showing the rise or decline in population in the different states. Last week we had the Top 10 Fastest Growing States in 2006. Today, we are introducing the 10 Slowest Growing States. This includes Louisiana which lost nearly 5 percent of it’s population in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. What is more interesting than that is the exodus out of high taxation states such as Rhode Island, The District of Columbia, Michigan, and New York.

It looks like the northeast is barely holding water on population while the southeast and southwest are the growth areas of the country.
