U.S. Population Growth Slows in 2025 as Immigration Drops

New population estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau show that U.S. population growth slowed sharply in 2025, largely due to a steep drop in immigration. After one of the fastest growth years in decades in 2024, the nation's growth rate fell to about 0.5%, raising important questions about future housing demand. In this episode of Real Estate News for Investors, Kathy Fettke breaks down the latest Census data, including where population growth is slowing, which states are still gaining residents, and why even the fast-growing South is beginning to cool. We also look at how lower migration, an aging population, and affordability pressures could reshape housing markets in the years ahead. If population growth has been a key driver of your investment strategy, this is data you'll want to understand. 📈🏠 Want to learn more?
