The child population in the United States has declined by 1.8 million between 2020 and 2025, with all regions experiencing a decrease except for the South. The South saw an increase of over 300,000 children during this period, contributing to its overall population growth which nearly doubled the national average. This demographic shift is leading to challenges in the South, such as crowded classrooms and housing pressures, while the rest of the nation prepares for fewer young families and an aging population.
