It&#8217;s a 2010s version of earlier demographic shifts that saw people leaving those parts of the country, and will (in the longer run, if it continues) have an impact on the pace of commercial and residential property demand and development.<\/p>\n<p>Between 2014 to 2015, the Chicago-Naperville-Elgin MSA topped the list of net population loss, down 0.84 percent. The New York-Newark-Jersey City MSA isn\u2019t far behind, with an overall decrease of 0.82 percent. Considering that the latter MSA has a population of more than\u00a020 million, that means a net of more than 168,000 people left the New York area during the 2014-2015\u00a0period. The Hartford-West Hartford-East Hartford MSA had a net loss of 0.74 percent, and Memphis was down 0.6 percent.<\/p>\n<p>Over the three years from 2012 to 2015, the pattern is similar: New York-Newark-Jersey City (down 2.2 percent) and Chicago (down 2.06 percent) once again lost the most population, followed again by Hartford (down 1.92 percent) and Memphis (down 1.77 percent).<\/p>\n<p>Abodo concludes: &#8220;By every metric, the cities Americans are leaving in the highest numbers are some of the country\u2019s largest: New York, Los Angeles, Chicago. And yet these cities\u2019 size insulates them somewhat from true net population loss: Americans are also moving to those places.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The new residents\u2019 numbers might not comprise as high a percentage of the population as other American cities, but that\u2019s a reflection of just how populous some of these metropolitan areas are: It\u2019s harder to make up 3 percent of the population in New York City than it is in, say, Cleveland.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;By every metric, the cities that Americans are leaving in the highest numbers are some of the county&#8217;s largest,&#8221; a new Abodo report says.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1023,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[23891,21742],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1004161455","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-national","category-latest"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.0 (Yoast SEO v28.0) -
