The Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco and Chicago metropolitan areas all lost tens of thousands of people during the pandemic's first full year.
After returning to the San Francisco metropolitan area following a college football career, Anthony Giusti felt like his hometown was passing him by. The high cost of living, driven by a constantly transforming tech industry, ensured that, even with two jobs, he would never save“In Houston, I can be a blue-collar entrepreneur. With the Houston housing market, it made sense to come here,” said Giusti, who started a house-painting business.
Metropolitan Los Angeles lost almost 176,000 residents, the San Francisco area saw a loss of more than 116,000 residents and greater Chicago lost more than 91,000 people from 2020 to 2021. The San Jose, Boston, Miami and Washington areas also lost tens of thousands of residents, primarily from people moving away.grew by more than 97,000 residents, Phoenix’s population jumped by more than 78,000, and greater Houston added 69,000 residents, including Giusti.
The U.S. Census Bureau’s Vintage 2021 estimates also showed “micro” areas — defined as having a core city of less than 50,000 residents — gaining population from mid-2020 to mid-2021, after years of slow growth or declining population. The small population gains were driven by people moving there, as deaths continued to outpace births in many of these communities. Growth in micro areas was led by Kalispell, Mont.; Jefferson, Ga.; and Bozeman, Mont.
Between mid-2020 and mid-2021, there was a stark increase in deaths outpacing births across the country. Almost 75% of U.S. counties experienced a so-called natural decrease, meaning deaths exceeding births; that proportion was up from 55.5% in 2020 and 45.5% in 2019. The trend was fueled by the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as fewer births and an aging population.
