NOT COINCIDENTALLY...:

Census: Fast Growth in States with No Income Tax (Michael Barone, 122/22/10, Washington Examiner)

[G]rowth tends to be stronger where taxes are lower. Seven of the nine states that do not levy an income tax grew faster than the national average. The other two, South Dakota and New Hampshire, had the fastest growth in their regions, the Midwest and New England.

Altogether, 35 percent of the nation's total population growth occurred in these nine non-taxing states, which accounted for just 19 percent of total population at the beginning of the decade.

...NH has a burgeoning Latino population...finally.
