Cuyahoga County (2010): 1,280,122
Cuyahoga County (2020): 1,264,817 (-15,305)

Allegheny County (2010): 1,223,348
Allegheny County (2020): 1,250,578 (+27,230)


Cuyahoga County went from being 56,774 people larger than Allegheny County in 2010 to being 14,239 people larger than Allegheny County in 2020.

At this rate Allegheny County will overtake Cuyahoga County in a few years.

Nice a small decline 0.89% in Pittsburgh. Not bad at all, 302k. The industries / new developments over the past decade contributed to this stability and I feel the city will go upward over the next two decades. Great work Allegheny county!

Yes. Allegheny County is a booming oasis amid a sea of decline.

Westmoreland, Fayette, Mahoning, Erie, Armstrong, Cambria, Blair, Venango, and Lawrence Counties are all declining moderately to rapidly.

Butler County is doing okay. Washington County has sluggish growth. Beaver County declined slightly.

I’m still shocked why the city of Erie doesn’t try to absorb millcreek township to increases it’s numbers. Maybe it’s more difficult than I imagine but that would help the city up there a bit. 94k and they are no longer the 4th largest city in PA.

Whoa!

Had no idea Reading grew so quickly!

Reading (2010): 88,082
Reading (2020): 95,112

Erie (2010): 101,786
Erie (2020): 94,831

Poor Erie. It is in freefall. Is it really that bad of a place? We always enjoy visiting there.

Even Scranton, Wilkes-Barre, and Hazleton all grew. Scranton is now just a smidge larger than Bethlehem, but Bethlehem is growing more quickly.

Lots of Latino immigrants in Reading - both moving directly from overseas (or Puerto Rico) as well as NYC.

Lancaster actually shrank last decade, which shocked me, because it's doing well as a city, but it may have to do with gentrification having reduced the Latino population there.

It could. Pittsburgh’s problem since the census is the decline of those in the workforce by 10s of thousands and job numbers that are near 1991 and way below recent peaks. Did the census capture this before those losses?

My point is the census could’ve captured Pittsburgh at its high point right before the bottom fell out with covid. Since last fall the employment numbers and those in the workforce have dropped dramatically. Pittsburgh by and large had its best decade in a lifetime with the positive press and actual job growth creeping up before Covid.

I think we should just enjoy the fact this place isn’t declining like it was in the past. And for what it’s worth the region needs to diversify the economy and work to boost wages.

That is the only way it is going to pass Cleveland and Cuyahoga County. And as far as Cleveland I think it’s where Pittsburgh was with declines in 2010. This may be the bottom for them and Cuyahoga County. Recent job numbers have Pittsburgh below Cleveland when it comes to employment opportunities from June of this year. In fact, Pittsburgh’s ability to add jobs and grow the workforce will determine if growth continues in the future.

Pittsburgh will go as far as the local job growth can take it. Buffalo and Cincinnati were the two rust belt cities to finally do it this census. Pittsburgh could go either way.

When I visited Buffalo two weeks ago I thought it was further ahead of Pittsburgh with turning a corner. A lot of younger and diverse people up there. I was shocked and posted a link that GG crapped on regarding Buffalo a few days ago. I’m not shocked it’s starting to hum along. That’s where we need to be.
