From the recently released Decennial Census we see that 7 of the 9 states (AK FL NH NV SD TN TX WA WY) that do not levy an income-tax grew faster than the national average. And, the other two ND and NH had the fastest growth in their regions (Midwest and New England). Altogether 35% of the nation’s population growth occurred in these 9 income tax-free states which account for about 20% of total population.
