In the first full year of the pandemic, the New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Chicago metro areas had the greatest population losses in the nation
People ride a new indoor tourist attraction called RiseNY just off Times Square in Manhattan's Theater District in New York City on Tuesday, March 1, 2022. Visitors strap themselves into a row of seats and are lifted 30 feet off the ground inside a 180 degree, 40-foot projection dome to take a bird's eye virtual view of city landmarks and seasonal events. After returning to metro San Francisco following a college football career, Anthony Giusti felt like his hometown was passing him by.
The exodus from the biggest U.S. metropolitan areas was led by New York, which lost almost 328,000 residents. It was driven by people leaving for elsewhere, even though the metro area gained new residents from abroad and births outpaced deaths. “Texas has a thing about it, a romantic thing, with cowboys, and there’s the idea here of the Lone Star State,” said Giusti in describing the lure of Texas.
“There is clearly a dispersion, but I think it’s a blip,” said Frey, senior fellow at the Brookings Institution’s metropolitan policy program, Brookings Metro. “We’re at one of the lowest levels of immigration in a long, long time, and that affects big metros like New York, Los Angeles and Chicago. That is going to come back. With the natural decrease, we will go back to normal.”
