Economic Geography of the United States: 2021 update

first posted: 2021-07-16 02:58:26.815817

Our last study of the US demographics dates back to 2016. We now have 2020 census data. The tables below are rather long because I made the editorial choice to convey complete information as opposed to showing a top 5 list. For those readers located in the US, you can check the ranking and demographic growth of your metrpolitan area below.

As for eye candy, we offer again the connected map of commutes below: img

Executive Summary

The partition of US geography in Combined Statistical Areas (CSA) enables us to obtain information on population trends.

While there is politicized noise about people leaving high-tax mega-cities in Cali and NY, the numbers available do not support this. Still, these areas are less affordable and politics can lead to lower rental yield and landlord legal protection. We look at factual census data:

  • depopulation is fastest in the smaller towns, depopulating CSA where the largest town is small, such as Cleveland Mississippi (pop 12,000), Johnston PA (pop 20,000, was 60,000 in 1920) or Dixon IL (pop 15,000) show that smalltown USA can have a hard time.
  • Legacy megacities NY, LA, Wa, Ch, SF are either attracting population or stable. Despite all the talk about their high price, they saw 0% to 8% cumulative growth over 10 years
  • Dynamics megacities such as DFW grew 20% over the 10 years
  • the winners keep winning: the Carolinas, FL, OR, TX keep growing at up to 3% annualized growth

Depopulation is a much slower process than demographic growth. Only one CSA has more than 1% population reduction per year at 1.5%. The 21 most attractive population grow by faster than 1.5% per year. Some even grow 3% per year.

The tables below illustrate how small 1% per year population compounds over decades. This puts upward or downward price pressure on the housing stock over decades. We recommend joining this data with our earlier net rental yield comparison article.

Most Dynamic Combined Statistical Areas

There are 170 CSA statistical areas. Below are their population and annualized growth over the last 10 years:

Most Dynamic MSA with Greater than Half Million Population

A large population of more than 1 million is generally best to ensure a wide choice of property managers, contractors, etc. We widen the net to 0.5m areas.
