    Just like Detroit, Chicago is losing people.

    Heck, even the Obamas didn't move back. They stayed in Washington D.C.

    Mississippi's population is also declining.

    As we have seen over the past few years, NOBODY wants to live in any 'shithole' country -- and that is EXACTLY what Chicago and a lot of these other Democrat-infested areas have turned into....

    Remember -- a city is a direct reflection of the people who live there.... 'Shithole IS as shithole DOES....'

    Wrong... why would you want to just make this up? Wyoming's population in 2019 is estimated at 568,125, up slightly from the 2010 Census. It's currently enjoying a healthy growth rate of 1.13%, which ranks 15th among all 50 states.

    Poor Oregon. Once you get out of the Portland area, it's still a great, wonderful 'western' state in most ways, but that diseased, hyperliberal inner-core in Portland is slowly radiating out and contaminating everything it touches. This has already happened in nearly all areas west of the Cascade Mountains in Washington state, too.

    One would think the lesson of Detroit's death spiral would serve notice to liberal leadership of what not to do. History seems to be difficult for most of them to understand or learn from.

    Google "Wyoming population trends" and you'll see: "Wyoming's population in 2019 is estimated at 568,125, up slightly from the 2010 Census. It's currently enjoying a healthy growth rate of 1.13%, which ranks 15th among all 50 states. The population of Wyoming in 2019 can only be estimated at present because the last official census in the country took place in 2010.Apr 1, 2019"

    Your expert source is 'usatoday'...? Well known for being, "A mile wide and an inch deep!"

    It's possible for a state to have long-term growth and short-term decline. You realize this, right? For example, Chicago's population has GROWN in the past 100 years while at the same time DECLINING in the last couple years.

    Nobody is arguing there aren't more in Chicago that in 1919, the thread is about recent declines.

    Dallas-Fort Worth is growing exponentially. We’ll pass Chicago to be the 3rd largest metro area in about 15 years.

    It is indeed. Hence my point about declining populations in certain states.
