West Virginia was the only state to have more deaths than births, but a net migration of more than 5,665 people prevented the state from having a population loss In ten states, more than 70 percent of the residents were born in that state. Louisiana ranked highest with 78.0 percent. There were 41 counties with a population of 1,000,000 or more in 2012. At the other extreme, there were 35 counties with fewer than 1,000 people. Over 1,200 counties had unemployment rates above the national average of 8.1 percent in 2012. In 2012, 83.9 percent of Americans lived in metropolitan areas, but these areas only made up 26 percent of the nation’s land area. Among all cities of 25,000 or more, 262 had unemployment rates of 10 percent or more significantly lower than two years earlier when 555 had unemployment rates of 10 percent or more.
