The "older more established blue states" are having more people leave them then enter them (esp. if your just considering citizens and legal residents). They may grow from new births, but they have a net out migration. They have out migration for a number of reasons. Upstate NY has really crummy weather. Its a major detractor. CA is really crowded as is the NYC metro area. The majority of the CA population lives on a narrow strip along the coast. Inland, weather conditions suck and the pollution is really bad. However, both states were huge growth magnets for a while in their history. The newer blue and purple states Where talking about "blue", and really specifically very "blue" states. Purple states aren't relevant (and its a stretch calling NC even purple, even though it could be said its no longer a hard "red" state) Trust me, NC is purple. And it grows more purple with each passing day. Eventually it will be blue.
