An even longer-term trend of urbanization is also continuing. Here are some of the big takeaways:
Rural areas in general continued to lose population, while cities gained them, as CNN notes: “Almost all of the nation’s population growth was in its cities, according to the Census Bureau. More than half of all counties saw their population decline since 2010. Most of the growth was driven by the South and West, while the Midwest and Northeast trailed behind.”The Big Apple grew more than any other city in the United States over the last decade, according to census results released Thursday.
The start of the 2020 census for most U.S. residents coincided with the spread of the coronavirus last year, forcing the Census Bureau to delay operations and extend the count’s schedule. Because census data is tied to where people were on April 1, 2020, the numbers will not reflect the loss of nearly 620,000 people in the U.S. who died from COVID-19.On top of the pandemic, census takers in the West contended with wildfires, and those in Louisiana faced repeated hurricanes.
