So far, almost all major metro areas in the rust-belt have seen a population increase outside of I think Syracuse.

Chicago grew by 50,000!!!

New York grew by 600,000!!!

Houston grew by 300,000

Los Angeles grew by 100,000

Philly grew by 100,000

San Jose grew by 75,000

Dallas grew by a little over a 100k

Phoenix grew a little over 150k.

It looks like the main county grew, but was offset from the 2 outer counties to hold steady.

The 2010s were not a good decade for rural America ... which likely ties into the support for Trump-led populism in such locations.

Population change from 2010 to 2020:

Metropolitan: +8.7%
Micropolitan: +0.8%
Outside Metro/Micro Areas: -2.8%

Can someone pull the numbers for Jersey City and Newark. Wondering how close the former got to surpassing the latter.

[nadnerb]

Top 11-20
Austin - 961,855
Jacksonville - 949,611
Fort Worth - 918,915
Columbus - 905,748
Indianapolis - 887,642
Charlotte - 874,579
San Francisco - 873,965
Seattle - 737,015
Denver - 715,522
DC - 689,545

It's wild to me how close the cluster of cities 12-17 are to each other.

Then you remember it was a land area of over 600 square miles and it's not that impressive.
