How in the hell did Detroit grow?

It's had a very "slight" revitalization the last 5 years or so. But, more so with people already there than people flocking to the city.
Technically it grew, but only 563 people

How the heck did Chicago lose over 6,200 people?

It's a hellhole of over-regulation, crime, murder, segregation and corruption. Plus it's cold.

I guess Nashville is too small to be on the list but the entire Nashville and Mid-state area has grown by a lot. Even the Knoxville area has had a bit of a boom though not as large as Middle, TN.

Yea - Nashville is the 36th largest MSA.
It grew from 1,793,910 to 1,830,345 (36,435) (2.0%).

If I had to guess it would be the 'Burbs. Suburbs have more than anything else have killed Midwestern cities. It's the yankee version of segregation and it is far more segregated than anything you'd see here.

Nope - these are total MSA's. Suburbs included. They lost 6K people net out of the entire Chicagoland area.

Now that is odd. I wonder where this 6k went? Was there a big jobs loss in the area? Where did they relocate to? I know we can't really answer the where they went but it would be interesting to know.

"Chicago losing population - Chicago Tribune"
quote:
Chicago's population decline is largely a product of residents fleeing both the city and state. The Tribune in March surveyed dozens of former residents who've left within the last five years, and each offered a list of reasons for leaving: high taxes, the state budget stalemate, crime, the unemployment rate and the weather.
Black residents have been among those calling it quits on their hometown. Propelling black flight is the search for safe neighborhoods and prosperity, with many African-Americans heading to the suburbs and warm-weather states. Chicago lost 181,000 black residents between 2000 and 2010, according to census data.

Oh wait. This is the last five years so the answer is more obvious than I thought. The boomers are at retirement age and relocating South to mooch off states like TN where there's no income tax.

It's actually just the past 1 year. Over the past 5 years Chicago has a growth rate of about 0.9%, by far the lowest in the Top 10.
1. New York (3.14%)
2. Los Angeles (3.99%)
3. Chicago (0.95%)
4. Dallas (10.53%)
5. Houston (12.44%)
6. Washington DC (8.19%)
7. Philadelphia (1.75%)
8. Miami (8.05%)
9. Atlanta (8.02%)
10. Boston (4.87%)

A 1 year data point isn't very useful. It's definitely odd and worth noting but not very useful in terms of gleaning any other information from it. Also, since the losses per the link covered Indiana and Wisconsin as well as Illinois it makes things even more complicated. Too may factors when you're dealing with three states plus multiple cities and counties.
Still very weird.
Still very weird.
