Minnesota's population increased by 0.4% or 23,615 people between July 2022 and July 2023, driven by more typical migration patterns and fewer deaths compared to the previous pandemic-affected years. The state continues to experience low birth rates and elevated deaths due to an aging population, but domestic migration and immigration patterns appear to be stabilizing. Minnesota lost about 4,700 people in 2023, which is a more comfortable pace of loss compared to previous years.

A study published in Nature Ecology & Evolution reveals new insights into the migration patterns of people living around the Mediterranean Sea during the Iron and Bronze Ages. By conducting genetic sequencing on the remains of 30 individuals from Italy, Tunisia, and Sardinia, researchers found evidence of widespread migration and strong ties between distant populations. The study also identified heterogeneity in Iron Age populations and shifts in ancestry in North Africa and Sardinia during the Bronze Age, suggesting increased migration from Morocco and Iran to Sardinia and Tunisia. The findings highlight the impact of migration on shaping the ancestry of Mediterranean populations during this time period.
