Reply to comment by Rare_Message_7204 in Newcomers to New Hampshire and Maine continue to drive population growth: More people are dying than being born, so population growth depends on people moving in from elsewhere by TurretLauncher

Fun facts:

  • Since 1952, NHs population has grown every year except one (1991)
  • The population has more than doubled in the last 60 years: 1962: 632,000; 2021: 1,388,992

Now the question becomes, keeping the historical growth data in mind, why do you see this trend posing a threat to the state’s beauty? Perhaps a follow up might be, why do you think the state has remained beautiful despite the steady growth over the past 60+ years?

Edit: Adding my source
