Did you know?

There are 16 council members in total. Ten of whom are Democrats.

Yes. But they are not elected citywide. My point was Republicans can and do win citywide, which hems in Dems’ ability to do anything “liberal” via the median voter theorem.

Here’s how that works in this context: Republicans played kingmaker for the current mayor in a contest between two Democrats running. Do you think he’s going to turn around and piss off the people who funded him and whose voters put him over the top by allowing unduly “liberal” city reform? No.

Yeah, but Whitmire has only been mayor for a year and a half. I’m talking about the past forty years.

Edited to add: Whitmire had nothing to do with the policies that have supposedly led to Houston's alleged affordability. Also, the post I responded to seemed to imply that Houston is not "Democrat-ruled" like other less affordable cities. That the reason for Houston's affordability is partisan, which is clearly not the case.

Yes. I guess I wasn't clear on that. I meant to say these are nice areas (outside the Loop) in addition to the Loop (which is mostly nice and desirable) because most everything past 610 is a shit show mess of varying levels of deterioration and the worst possible development.

I imagine that they do know that Houston elects Democratic mayors. In the interview I saw, Thompson was using Houston as a proxy for a Red State America that allows a lot of new housing construction, in contrast to the cities in Blue State America. I think he also cited Dallas, San Antonio and Austin along the same lines.

Of course, this argument ignores the fact that the affordability of cities in the red states is due in large part to the abundance of cheap land on the outskirts. Texas cities aren't geographically constrained the way most Democratic coastal cities are. Also, despite all the complaints about liberal NIMBYs, much of the push back to zoning changes to encourage denser housing comes from conservatives. Republican cities like Huntington Beach, California are heading up the opposition to California state housing initiatives. And it was Donald Trump who said it was his mission to "save the suburbs" from the threat to single family zoning.

I put together this list with the major US metropolitan areas sort of by the 2024 population estimates. It's basically the MSAs plus few adjustments (the traditional NY, LA, SF, Boston cases and small adjustments such as Chicago+Kenosha, Dallas+Sherman+Granbury, etc.).

There are some very important milestones:

--- The three largest metropolises are still on negative, but improving. It seems the all three will be on positive by the end of the decade.

--- San Francisco just lost its position as the 4th largest metro area in the US to Dallas, a spot it's been holding since the 1980 Census when it surpassed both Philadelphia and Detroit. Keeping the current trends it might be surpassed by Houston as well within 3 years or so.

--- Dallas and Houston growth shows no sign of slowing down, projecting a population of 9.3 million and 8.5 million respectively by the time of 2030 Census. Very close to become megacities.

--- Atlanta keeps slowing down decade after decade and now it's considerably behind the two Texan metro areas. It's heading for a 7.1 million people by 2030.

--- Phoenix broke the 5 million barrier, surpassed Seattle and it's getting close to Detroit. It's not been the same since the 2008 crisis, but it's still growing quite fast and might reach 5.7 million people by 2030.

--- Seattle it's hard to predict, it's one of those big, rich liberal city whose growth collapse post-covid. It seems it won't surpassed Detroit by 2030.

--- Minneapolis and Denver also slowed down a lot and will barely cross the 4 million people barrier on the next census.

--- Tampa and Orlando are becoming a 8 million people CSA, the most suburbanized of all.

-----------------------------------------------

Of course this overview does not consider the massive impact current policies will have on immigration. The US will post a natural growth (births minus deaths) of only 4 million people over this decade or 1.2% in relative terms. Virtually all population growth would come from immigration but it's soon to know how those things will develop.

Tampa and Orlando won't be a CSA anytime soon. They are separated by a smaller metro, Lakeland FL, about 45 minutes -1 hour away from each. Possibly it could be one big contiguous CSA by 2050, but both Tampa's and Lakeland's growth are stalling due to relatively high housing prices and increasing foreclosures. Not to mention the increasing hurricane risks as recent ones tend to come up from the Gulf, hit the west coast of FL and go inland through mid-FL.

Good analysis. I'm surprised Atlanta has continued to slow. I had thought that it might surpass Houston. It must be the competition from NC metros, like Charlotte and Raleigh.

Atlanta is on a 10% clip for the decade which is quite respectable and it continues to put further distance between it and peer metros like Miami and Washington. It's true, though, the Texas pair are just bonkers. Metro Atlanta was in the same ballpark as metro Dallas and Houston a few decades ago, but with the crazy growth of both of the Texas beasts that is no longer the case. You have this group of 5 in the mid 6's, Atlanta, Miami, Washington, Boston, Philadelphia, in that order, and of the 5, Atlanta is growing the fastest.

These communities are leading Metro Detroit's population growth

Quote:
The Asian American populations of Wayne, Macomb, and Oakland counties jumped 8% from 2023 to 2024, the most of any ethnic group. The number of Hispanic residents in Macomb and Oakland counties has increased by more than 10% since 2020. The latest Census Bureau release contains county-level data on age, race and sex across all U.S. states and Puerto Rico through July 1, 2024. It uses an adjusted version of the 2020 decennial census and updated information on births, deaths and migration.

Census data released earlier this year showed that Michigan's population grew more in 2024 than it had in several decades, driven in large part by immigration to Wayne, Oakland and Macomb counties. Those three counties grew by more than 30,000 residents. Michigan's population increased by 57,000 residents in 2024 to 10.14 million due solely to immigration growth.

Seattle’s Population Blows Past 800,000 in Latest State Estimates

Quote:
For the first time ever, Seattle has officially surpassed the 800,000 population mark. The state Office of Financial Management (OFM) pegged Seattle at 816,600 residents in April 1, 2025 population estimates released Friday. This year marks the fifth straight that Seattle’s growth rate has exceeded 2%, making Seattle one of the fastest-growing cities in the country.

As of April 2024, OFM estimated Seattle’s population was 797,700. The new estimates would indicate that Seattle added 18,900 residents in one year, growing 2.4% over the previous year. Over half of King County’s overall annual population increase — 33,600 new residents — were in the City of Seattle.

Suburban growth leaders

Other Puget Sound cities added population as well, though generally at a slower rate than Seattle, with a few exceptions. Bellevue went from 155,000 to 158,000 residents, a 1.9% growth rate. Tacoma grew from 225,100 residents to 228,400, a 1.5% growth rate. Lynnwood’s population expanded from 74,390 to 75,640, a 1.7% gain.

I dearly hope that OFM is right about Seattle. But their estimates tend to be way over Census counts and estimates. We'll see what they think in 2030.

That said, OFM has us getting close to that magical 839,000 that would put us at 10,000 per square mile.

The core outperformed some of the suburbs and proxy cities too which is great.

It could be just self correction. Some of the past estimates, for many cities, have been off. Seems like we at least are returning to a pre-covid glide path of growth.

Seattle is without question growing fast again. The only question is how fast.

The Census Dept had it at 737,020 on 4/1/20 and 780,995 on 7/1/24. That's 43,975 in 4 1/4 years, or 10,347 per year. The average should increase once the 7/1/25 number is added.

WA OFM's 816,600, which starts with the Census 2020 count, would be 79,580 added in 5 years, or 15,916 per year. Most of that's in the last four years.

The numbers will probably fall a bit until development economics improve (tariffs, interest rates, rents), though we have some runway as buildings fill up, more people get roommates or stay with their parents, etc.

-Hispanic: 32.1%
-Asian only: 4.4%
-Black only: 5.8%
-Am. Indian only: 5.1%
-Haw/Pac only: 0.3%
-Two or more: 3.3%

Colorado:
-White non-Hisp: 65.2%
-Hispanic: 23.2%
-Asian only: 4.1%
-Black only: 5.0%
-Am. Indian only: 1.7%
-Haw/Pac only: 0.2%
-Two or more: 3.6%

Minnesota:
-White non-Hisp: 76.0%
-Hispanic: 6.7%
-Asian only: 5.7%
-Black only: 8.8%
-Am Indian only: 1.5%
-Haw/Pac only: 0.1%
-Two or more: 2.9%

Oregon:
-White non-Hisp: 71.8%
-Hispanic: 15.5%
-Asian only: 5.5%
-Black only: 2.5%
-Am. Indian only: 2.1%
-Haw/Pac only: 0.5%
-Two or more: 4.5%

Washington:
-White non-Hisp: 63.0%
-Hispanic: 15.0%
-Asian only: 14.0%
-Black only: 4.8%
-Am Indian only: 2.1%
-Haw/Pac only: 0.9%
-Two or more: 5.4%

The South is such a huge region in the country, spanning as far north as MD and VA, far south as FL, and far west as TX. Atlanta isn't the only major city in the South, and other cities in the South, such as Charlotte, Raleigh, Greensboro, Nashville, and the blue chip cities of Miami, Houston, and Dallas are gaining in population, as well as in stature.

It wouldn't surprise me, that by after the 2030 census count, at around 2031, that GA won't gain another congressional district due to competing states nearby such as FL, TN, NC, and SC gaining population at higher rates, and changing politics. It's not saying that GA won't grow, but GA has tried to compare itself to NY and IL, even though they're not comparable.

When it comes to city limits, for cities greater than 400K+, Miami has the fastest growth at 10.12% in 2024, over double the amount that Atlanta currently has at 4.28%. Miami, as far as the city is concerned, has already reached 10% growth.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metropolitan_statistical_area#United_States

Both Atlanta's and Miami's MSAs are of similar growth, at 5.02% and 5.21%, respectively. The difference between the Miami (6,457,988) and Atlanta (6,411,149) MSAs are only 46,839, with Miami having a slightly higher growth than Atlanta.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combined_statistical_area#List_of_combined_statistical_areas

The Atlanta and Miami CSAs are also of similar growth, with the Atlanta CSA at #10 and at 5.22% growth, and Miami at #11 and at 5.81% growth. The difference in raw numbers is only 30,782 between the Atlanta (7,340,522) and Miami (7,309,740) CSAs populations. Once again, Miami has a slightly higher growth than Atlanta, even though Atlanta has the slightly higher population over Miami.

If the Cape Coral-Fort Myers-Naples CSA (1,336,454) combines with the Miami CSA due to commuters between the two CSAs, that could make a CSA of 8,646,194 in South FL, and if such a CSA exists, then that would rank it #7, just below Dallas-Ft Worth CSA, and just above Boston-Worcester-Providence CSA. It would also have a growth of 9.14% in 2024, surpassing Atlanta, Philadelphia, Houston, and Boston.

I'm not denying that Atlanta isn't growing, but Miami, as well as Houston and Dallas, are also rapidly growing, and the presumption that Atlanta is the fastest growing isn't true.

I don't see how Cape Coral-Ft Meyers-Naples would be combined with Miami metro as they are at least 180 miles apart, on different coasts, and there is virtually nothing between them other than the Everglades. I suspect that Miami metro's recent higher growth will slow dramatically, and Atlanta's may accelerate. Miami is very expensive and has significant outmigration to Central Florida, and the immigration crackdown will impact it more than Atlanta. I suspect that by 2030, Atlanta metro will have pulled ahead.

If the powers that be in FL were smart enough to allow for a HSR elevated line along Alligator Alley to Naples and another elevated HSR line along FL-25 and FL-80 to Ft Myers, it could happen.

Montauk to NY Penn Station (116 miles): https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Montauk,..._ep=EgoyMDI1MDYyMy4yIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D

Greenport, NY to NY Penn Station (97.8 miles): https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Greenpor..._ep=EgoyMDI1MDYyMy4yIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D

Naples, FL to MiamiCentral (127 miles): https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Naples,+..._ep=EgoyMDI1MDYyMy4yIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D

Ft Myers, FL to MiamiCentral (159 miles): https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Fort+Mye..._ep=EgoyMDI1MDYyMy4yIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D

I agree that the distance between Miami and Ft Myers and Naples are vast, but a HSR train that travels over 125 MPH could cut that travel time to just a little over an hour.
