Population Growth Patterns in Metro Areas, 2000-16

[KingSweden]

Greater St. Louis:



That's the last of the top 25 metros.

Really emphasizes how dire STL has been recently

I corrected the MSP map.  Thanks for pointing out the error.

Really emphasizes how dire STL has been recently

I was surprised to see the city of St. Louis itself actually gain a little population for a year or two at the end of the last decade.  But it and the immediate region has generally been down, down, down - especially the northern St. Louis County suburbs.  The Missouri exurbs and South St. Louis County are growing a bit, at least.

Greater Pittsburgh:



It's even bleaker than St. Louis.  Only areas in the West and North Hills and Washington County around the I-79 corridor are growing at all most years - though, like St. Louis, the city of Pittsburgh itself had a few years of slow growth.

Greater Sacramento:

[cinyc]

Greater Cincinnati:



Notice the growth in Northern Kentucky.

[cinyc]

Las Vegas:



The Las Vegas Metropolitan Area is a one-county metro - though the CSA includes Clark and Nye Counties in Nevada and Mojave County, AZ.  It's probably one of the largest CSAs by land area - though the Los Angeles CSA might give it a run for its money.

Kansas City:



That's the last of the top 30 metros.

[cinyc]

Greater Austin:


It's one of the fastest-growing metros in the country, in contrast to our next metro area.

[cinyc]

Greater Cleveland:



At least the western/southwestern exurbs are growing.

That completes the top 36 metros (others through Nashville are already done) - and all metro areas with a population of 2,000,000 or more (Indy is the cut off).

Hampton Roads (Virginia Beach-Norfolk-Newport News):

[cinyc]

Providence:



The metro includes all of Rhode Island and Bristol County, Massachusetts.  It appears that Bristol County is growing faster than Rhode Island, thanks to growth in Boston's exurbs.

New Bedford and Fall River are drags on Bristol County, and aren't quite as close as Brockton or Lowell to have a post-deindustrialization recovery.

Metro Jacksonville:



That's the 40th largest metropolitan area in the country, and the first with a population below 1.5 million.

True - but Rhode Island has only grown by .37% since 2010, and the Providence metro has grown by .87%.  The rest has to be made up by Bristol County growth, largely in the northern part of the county near I-495.

Metro Jacksonville:



That's the 40th largest metropolitan area in the country, and the first with a population below 1.5 million.

Yet Jacksonville is the 13th largest city in the country. Probably the most dominant the city proper is in its metro area's population.

Because it has a bit of an expansive city limits. Not Honolulu or Ulaanbaatar levels of craziness, but still kind of unusual.

Rhode Island was devastated in the recession of 2008. Unemployment went way up.

Please do Raleigh/Durham and Memphis next please.

[cinyc]

Please do Raleigh/Durham and Memphis next please.

They're 2 of the next 3 to be done, after Oklahoma City.  Hopefully, i'll get to it this weekend.

Technically, Durham is in its own metropolitan area, but I'm going to try to put both the Raleigh and Durham metros on the same map.

[cinyc]

Oklahoma City:

[Brittain33]

Lots of growth in good old Choctaw.

[cinyc]

Memphis:



De Soto County, Mississippi appears to be the main constant here - always growing.

[cinyc]

The Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill CSA:



This includes the Raleigh and Durham-Chapel Hill Metropolitan Areas, which are technically separate from each other, along with a few micropolitan areas on the periphery of those MSAs.

Cool maps!

Orange County, CA please?

It's in the Los Angeles Metro map, which is a few pages back.  Check the first post for a link to it.
