- fundad 5y agoCity!=County in the states
- zone411 5y agoHuh? The parent post talked about people moving to big cities and that's what I replied to. Also, considering I created city-data.com with information about U.S. cities and counties, I know ;)
- TOMDM 5y agoI'm getting paywalled on that article. My assumption is that instead of moving to the biggest cities in the us, people are spreading out amongst the smaller cities, not the myriad of tiny counties in the US. Am I wrong?

"But the 10 fastest growing counties last year accounted for nearly 80 percent of the national total, a testament not so much to the rapid pace of change in these places, but to the lack of significant growth in the rest of the nation."
- jeffbee 5y ago"Phoenix, Houston, Dallas, Austin and Atlanta gained more than a total of 300,000 residents." are these not big cities?
- Kye 5y agoThey're big metros. I doubt 300,000 people moved into Atlanta, the city. That would almost double the population.
- jeffbee 5y agoI believe the number was intended to be cumulative, not per city. In any case, the Census has only released county and state 2021 population estimates, not "places" i.e. cities. So we don't yet have a shared objective basis to discuss urban center vs. metro trends.
