New York Leads U.S. Cities In Population Growth
NY1 | 24 Hour Local News | Top Stories | New York Leads U.S. Cities In Population Growth
Something many of us already suspected. Still, adding 53,000 is a lot, especially in a recession.
"Census data also shows many of the country's urban areas are growing at faster rates than the rest of the nation, reversing a long-standing trend of migration to the suburbs."

It's crazy people still come here. It's all about the bright lights and the lure of making it here...

I wonder what the other top cities with population growth are.
I'm not surprised by this. They sell this city like hotcakes.

I think it has more to do with a reversal of the decades long migration from cities to the suburbs.
Kids who grew up in the suburbs try to get out as fast as they can.Empty nesters are selling their houses to buy apartments in cities for their retirement.People who moved to the south are clamoring to come back.Everyone is fed up with heating and maintaining big houses,insuring and keeping the tanks full in 2 or 3 cars and hour to hour and a half commutes in each direction.And a lot of them are just bored to death.
The trend is going to continue,especially in the really great cities like NY,Boston,Chicago,SF,Austin, Seattle,etc. Won't happen in cities with no life like Pittsburgh,Detroit,St. Louis,Cleveland,etc

EXCEPT New York City's population growth is primarily from immigration rather than nation wide emigration which isn't really replacing the native population that left. IE, this is pretty much what has been happening with the city since the 70s.
