Research conducted by economists from Georgia Institute of Technology and The College of Wooster shows a net loss of 36,000 residents per quarter in 13 states with strict abortion bans post-Dobbs decision.
The loss is particularly pronounced among single-person households, suggesting a trend of younger individuals leaving these states.
