Smaller than North Carolina?-------Mich. posts 2nd year of population growth, may fall in '14 rankings

Mich. posts 2nd year of population growth, may fall in '14 rankings | The Detroit News:
"Michigan posted a second consecutive year of slight population growth in 2013 after experiencing losses during the prior seven-year period, the U.S. Census Bureau reported Monday.

.....One demographer cautioned against such a rosy forecast. William Frey at the Brookings Institution warned that without more robust growth, Michigan is bound to be overtaken next year by North Carolina as the ninth most populous state in the country."
