🧵Population growth & decline in a few US metros since 1990...

First, Twin Cities. The big boom around central Minneapolis is impressive, but the outskirts still grew more. In between, it's interesting to see that more neighborhoods grew than declined. Image
That wasn't the case in the 90s, when most of the established neighborhoods lost population. Image
Nor was it the case in the 00s... Image
It was only suddenly in the last decade that neighborhoods grew *all over the place*, and central Minneapolis was distinctly the biggest pocket of growth. Image
Now some contrasting cases...

First, Tampa-St. Petersburg, a faster growing metro, still had pockets of decline. Image
Las Vegas also had a few pockets of decline but *huge* growth nearly everywhere else. Image
At the other end of the spectrum, most of central St. Louis has been in decline, with the only big growth out west in St. Charles County. Image
And this brings me to Detroit, which satisfies today's #30DayMapChallenge theme: Blue. Image
I started this series last month to showcase @nhgis data (centers of population & time series) for #NACIS2022, but I was only able to give a glimpse in my talk. Sharing now while Twitter lasts!
