I left Columbus, Ga in 1975 and never looked back Comment from : John Walker

Ann Arbor's a weird entry on this list -- there is a lot of new development going on both in the city and the surrounding townships, and constant complaints about high housing prices and rents At the same time, the University of Michigan has had a growing student population I'm not sure what is the source of the estimated population loss, but it's hard to square with all of the new residential construction And there definitely aren't a bunch of houses and apartments units sitting empty Comment from : Mark Weaver

Charleston sucks! There's nothing to do We used to have a vibrant downtown Now, it's a ghost town People are afraid to go downtown because of the junkies and homeless population Sure, WV has beautiful scenery and white water rafting, but that's about it So, I'm not surprised that it was #1 on the list!

I guess many people died of COVID Price gauging for rents is another reason? Comment from : Thomas K

I'm a Shreveport native that has moved to Florida My entire family has left Shreveport for other places The city is imploding, primarily due to crime and sheer ghetto-ness It's not politically correct to say it, but it's mainly white people getting fed up with ghetto black people's nonsense and deciding to just leave for somewhere nicer and safer The lack of economic opportunity is also a factor: almost all my high-achieving high school friends never moved back after graduation Comment from : John Burford

Trenton Resident here I believe the census doesn't take into account immigrants or undocumented people All the neighborhoods in Trenton have gained citizens Houses that have been vacant for a decade are being fixed and lived in Im willing to go as far as saying Trenton probably gained around 3 to 5 percent, but that's just the city I am not sure about the townships Comment from : Keith Harleyk

Why Jackson MS? Fire ants Comment from : Steve Pax

Condemnation for Jackson, MS, but no judgement for these other cities which are collapsing under misguided ideologies Comment from : Howard Wiggins

How about Bismark/Mandan ND? They are split between time zones, however maybe not large enough to be considered in the SMSA Comment from : BriMo

theres no reason to live in a midsize metro - although i would clarify to mean 75,000 - 300,000 also maybe exclude suburbs and those part of other metro areas Comment from : Joe Anderson

I bet Ann Arbor will recover, it’s got potential Comment from : Jeffrey Sweeney

I was really expecting to see St Louis on this list Comment from : D Nuts

I thought Erie, PA would be on the list They just make the 250,000 metro threshold and were one of the biggest losers in population in the 2020 census Comment from : Jim Carideo

Columbus, GA is a dump I go through there every few months and even that is too long for me Comment from : Matt from Florida

West Virginia needs to find a way to court remote workers from Northeast They could offer fabulous housing with beautiful views for a fraction of the cost of a NY brownstone Comment from : Mike Howard

I’m from Shreveport originally It is sad to see the decline of the city There are lots of people working hard to make it better and being a Shreveport optimist, I believe that the city will bounce back at some point It just needs to get the ball rolling on some economic development and get the crime under control The city is situated in a great geographic location for potential growth Comment from : JAB2023

Yeet yeet Milage Mike posted🤌 Comment from : Adaptive Ape Hybrid

Charleston, according to Wiki, had a 268 loss, but your math there is wrong 258859 to 254914 is only 3945, not 6945 Wiki shows that 2022 population as 251914, I think that's where your error was The population loss is correct, you just have the wrong 2022 population Comment from : Jim Spies

I thought Rockford was in bigger decline than Peoria Comment from : drf81

I have friends in Michigan who can’t wait to leave They hate it there Comment from : Michael Warren

Jackson, Mississippi is a hell hole Comment from : Michael Warren

I am surprised that Youngstown Ohio and Utica New York were not on this list Comment from : R Pres

West Virginia as a whole is very impoverished and backward It is also very religiously conservative which contributes to its serious problems While it’s largest cities like Charleston, Wheeling, Huntington, and Parkersburg are all declining urban cores with depressed economies, the rural areas of the state are in even worse shape due to their complete dependence on the dying coal mining industry, their low educational attainment, the mostly low income levels and the major lack of development The mountainous southern counties are the worst Rampant political corruption has also hurt West Virginia and has kept the state stuck in the past Whether or not West Virginia can eventually turn it around and start improving remains to be seen Comment from : R Pres

America is being destroyed - from within (by our own DemoncCRAT party) Comment from : Richard Young

I'm pretty good with accents I am happy to support by fellow geography nerd Brotha!!!! ❤😂 👊 ✊️ People underestimate the importance of geography upon history Comment from : KIM JOHNSON

2020 census was undercounted because of the pandemic Comment from : William Erazo

Ya-kih-mah, not Ya-kee-me Comment from : Sean McDirmid

Everytime i hear peoria, illinois, all i can think of is: I WAS BORNINPEOHRAHILLINOIS 😅😅😂😂👍👍!! #MUDBONE #THE LEGEND RICHARD PRYOR Comment from : David Joseph

I'm from saint gabriel, la & the politics, crime, small time mentality/refusing to accept growth properly in many areas (yes, baton rouge i'm talking about you), many job opportunities & the infrastructure in my home "boot state" SUCK!! Comment from : David Joseph

I was born and raised in Columbus, GA and almost everyone young who gets a college degree doesn’t stay around And the #1 place they move to is by far Atlanta since it isn’t far and offers way more opportunities for high paying, white collar careers Comment from : AH F

The WORLD is overpopulated If only he world population would shrink to one billion The Earth can support that, NOT 8 to ten BILLION People will have to face that one of these days, if they don't they will liv in Malthusian Misery forever BB Comment from : Bob Burnitt

Michigan has lost seats in the US House of Representatives after every census since 1980, when it had 19 of them Now it only has 13 seats Comment from : Stephen Brand

This report is fairly useless Many large towns lost population during the pandemic due to changes in work patterns or loss of earnings Increases in remote work allowed people to relocate to cheaper areas Therefore population loss due in large part to the international health emergency should be viewed as a temporary variable which may not reflect the longer term status of a metro area brP S Puerto Rico has been part of the US since 1899 See the map at 0:10 for reference Comment from : D Byers

Did you notice your error in that growing metro video I pointed out? Louisville was supposed to be No 1 Not Austin Comment from : SuperSirianRigel

I love Oxnard, Go Seabees!!! Comment from : Jim OConnor

Track the declines to the planned obsolescence of the middle class Comment from : Kevin OConnor

When we do the growing mid sized cities Im almost certain Knoxville will be on there Comment from : Adam Smith

"Oxner" (Oxnard) -- really? In 53 seconds you mispronounced 2 city names (which is when I stopped watching) In a video about cities Do your homework Comment from : Roger Odle

Business friendly cities still equal higher taxes for the tax payers because the cities are allowing the businesses to pay little to no taxes on their properties Comment from : Shem Israel

Toledo, Ohio ? Comment from : David Bodi

As someone mentioned earlier West Virginia is done dirty by it's geography being the heart of Appalachia The lack of diversity in the state's economy is just insult to injury Comment from : Firebolt Prime

I wonder how other college towns are doing population-wise With college attendance peaking or declining, I can't help but wonder whether that's affecting the population of college towns Comment from : Don Hargraves

Truthfully the main problem with West Virginia is that it's geography is trash When talk about living in mountainous states, they mean living in the valleys and plateaus adjacent to those mountains Driving through the state is like driving through a roller coaster It lacks the scenic vistas of nearby Shenandoah/blue ridge parkway And it's too far south to be a great skiing state Comment from : James R

People will regret moving to the south come 15 to 20 years from now Comment from : Mythos

Love your videos, Mike, super informative and interesting Comment from : jesuispain

The Federal government's war on coal has a lot to do with declining population in West VirginiabrIt's not hard to understand how to fix it: stop the war on coal Comment from : Andy Harman

I sure as hell isn't Illinois, with it's Democrat controlled Chicago policies fucking everything up for the rest of the state Comment from : Rob Hargis

Jackson, MS is no big surprise I grew up in the metro area and Jackson has no redeemable qualities that made me want to stay there Comment from : Hazel Underwood

Many of these Californian agricultural town’s population are being replaced by illegal immigrants People who have not been counted by the last census As neighborhoods become poorer the people who have been living here are leaving Not sure if that counts as “loss of population “ Comment from : Dirty Rotten

The Charleston stat should be a 2 in the thousandths spot of the net loss stat, not a 4! Comment from : Jamie Sweitzer

You should visit my home Puerto Rico sometime and make a video on it Maybe comparing traffic and landmarks to the states It is a beautiful country, and it has lots to offer but life is really difficult (hence the dramatic population decline) Anyways great video! Cheers Comment from : Collegekid

Lived in Columbus, GA for 6 months Population decline only tells half the story The area is in demographic decline as well More affluent demographics have been leaving Columbus to neighboring Harris county for years And as you mentioned, many leave the area altogether for Atlanta If you think Columbus is bad, Macon has the same issues as Columbus but even worse Comment from : Stein Ravnik
