Last week, we filmed our 2026 US Demography Review. This is our biggest deep dive of the year.

First, we examine the latest trends in fertility, mortality, migration, and domestic mobility before examining the long-term outlook for US population growth. Among the key questions we address:

  • Fertility: Will US birth rates recover, or are record lows here to stay?

  • Mortality: Why did life expectancy reach a record high in 2024, and can those gains continue?

  • Immigration: How many immigrants are entering and leaving the country, and how have these flows changed since President Trump’s election?

  • Mobility: Which cities, states, and regions are attracting residents, and which are losing them?

  • Population Projections: What does the future hold for US population growth, and could the population eventually begin to decline?

This webcast, which runs 68 minutes, is now available to all paid subscibers.
