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.

That wasn't the case in the 90s, when most of the established neighborhoods lost population.
Nor was it the case in the 00s...
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.
Now some contrasting cases...
First, Tampa-St. Petersburg, a faster growing metro, still had pockets of decline.

Las Vegas also had a few pockets of decline but *huge* growth nearly everywhere else.
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.
And this brings me to Detroit, which satisfies today's #30DayMapChallenge theme: Blue.
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!
