Just curious...

For the cities that lost population, did any of their metros actually shrink? I'm assuming not, and the only one where that is even a remote possibility is Detroit.

Can anyone confirm this?

Didn't the Pittsburgh Metro shrink?

You're kidding, right? It is exactly in line with what the estimates showed it at. Its metro was estimated at just above 850,000 in 2009, and is just above that in the census as well.

So we know the Cleveland, Pittsburgh and New Orleans metros lost population, what about Detroit? Are there any other large metros that lost population?

Not that are out yet.

Speaking of out: Minnesota, Tennessee, North Dakota, and Alaska were just released.

DC's metro would need WV, even though it's a small portion of it...

Glad to see Minneapolis at least held steady...the gentrification and foreclosures didn't have quite the same effect here as in some of the other northern cities, though I had hoped we would keep growing as we did in census 2000. I am pretty sure that Minneapolis will start going up again in the next few years as it did in the 90s...there has been another big increase in construction of higher density housing kicking in the past several months.

The metro grew at a pretty good clip...officially over 3 million for the first time.

The metro grew at a pretty good clip...

Minneapolis - St. Paul MSA
3,279,833

Minneapolis - St. Paul - St. Cloud CSA
3,577,451

I wonder if some of Minneapolis' even keel is due to the city proper's small size. Does Minny have large working class or poorer neighborhoods that drove Chicago and others' drops?

No, not really, but then again, having a smaller city area does not help a city at all when it comes to population growth -- it usually equates to population loss because there are so few areas to develop.

The small square mileage does skew a lot of things especially when comparing to other cities, and also it makes so many people think the city is smaller than it really is...kind of annoying.

There are many factors at work here...there were thousands of new housing units constructed in Minneapolis in the past 10 years, most of which are full, so there is growth there. However, the city was hit hard with foreclosures and has a record high amount of vacant properties at the moment(still not very high compared to most places)...so there was certainly loss there, that will likely fill back up as the market improves. I think those 2 kind of canceled each other out.

Yeah, I didn't really word my question the best. I meant to put the emphasis on Minneapolis' relative lack of impoverished neighborhoods that see drastic demographic shift like in Chicago, Cleveland, and company.

St. Paul too had a percent change under 1%. Overall, I'm liking the numbers out of Minnesota.

Wow, I wonder if Memphis and Nashville are going to challenge? Memphis could very well be the 2nd largest city in Tennessee now.

Florida, Georgia, and Kentucky

I think part of what is helping Minneapolis and St Paul proper to hold steady (more or less) is the fact that both central cities are still drawing immigrants, while in many other metros they are starting to head for the suburbs. Both cities saw increases in their black, asian and hispanic populations while the number of whites dropped. A lot of that is being driven by immigration.
