The Census - where we're going and how we look. Some interesting stuff. Tried to keep it board-related

Saint Louis - city continues to hollow out the urban core w/ a 20% decline in young people. For the first time we fell out of the top 20 largest metros
Illinois - lost 700,000 white residents in the last decade. fair number of blacks moved out too. asian and hispanic growth
Indiana - growing more racially diverse. 2010 indiana was 84.3% white today it's 77.2%. black hoosiers grew by 9.7%. total pop grew 4.7%. not enough to earn another seat in congress. remains at 9
California - asian population is soaring and hispanics are now the largest racial group in california. 1.6 million new hispanics. asian residents grew by 1.2 million. white residents fell by 1.2 million.
Florida - fastest growing metro in the US is The Villages! lmao you see this @Bulk VanderHuge. Florida's population grew 15%. that's a lot for a state with waste/water and climate challenges
Phoenix - fastest growing big city in america.
Texas - people of color made up 95% of it's population growth. it's hispanic population is nearly even with its white population. texas gained the most residents of any state in the last decade.
Detroit's population declined for the 7th straight decade
Cincinnati reversed a 70 year population decline and saw growth
GA - population grew 10.7%. black georgians increased by 13.% white pop dropped 1%

calif, ny, il, oh, pa, wv, mi, all lost a seat
texas added two seats. co, fl, mt, nc, or all gained a seat.

midwest northeast losing. south and parts of west growing.

we are becoming an aging and more diverse country.

will be interesting to see how all of this impacts maps/voting going forward

Not sure that corresponds with "The Man"

In Indiana, a few Indy burb counties grew by over 20%. Marion, Indys county, grew by 8.5%, so not all urban cores are dying. The rural counties most all lost population. Again, not a surprise.

 

[twenty02]

53% of counties in the country lost population. Mostly (but not entirely) in rural areas.

Illinois is a good example. Chicago and the collar countys' population grew by 150k or so.... but downstate continued to hollow out losing even more than that creating a net loss for the state.

Much of rural and small town America is in a self-fulfilling death spiral. 83% of the population lives in a city/suburban/ metro area.

Of note the data collected doesn't reflect pandemic moves. Pre pandemic. i'll also add as an aside i keep reading on numerous outlets that climate change is causing people to relocate. they then cite people in arizona moving out because it's too hot. as noted phoenix was the fastest growing city in america....hmmm
