The 1974 death rate ranked sixth highest in the nation at 10.4 per thousand, while births remained the nation’s lowest at 2.4 per thousand. From 1970 to 1975, out-migration shaved 182,900 residents, with Philadelphia and Pittsburgh each losing tens of thousands. Florida and California surged in growth, while Arizona led in percentage gains.
