The Arkansas delta has suffered the most and a lot have moved to Jonesboro in Northeast Arkansas. Southern Arkansas has no jobs and have moved to the Little Rock area.

The only areas in that state that have grown besides NWA is Central Arkansas and Northeast Arkansas. Northern Arkansas has remained stagnant but I believe that changes once NWA cost of living gets too expensive.

And Texas is supposed to be picking UP the pace from this. They might add an extra 6 million at the rate they are coming in from other states…not counting the boarder.


They will be blue within eight years and democrats will have a death grip on America for a generation or more.

Mississippi’s cities all kinda suck in my experience. Not much to them even compared to Alabama’s cities.


No differences, except two of Alabama's larger cities have hills.

Not how it happened at all. California was perfectly fine, and then the interior of America ran to the coast to make it in show biz, live near the beach, and enjoy the weather. That drove their real estate through the roof. Now THEY are doing the reverse of what people did to them decades ago. Turnabout is fair play. Just saying.

Smart LSU graduates moved to Florida, Georgia and Texas.

Football and Food in Luzianner.

Come back for a few games and pig out, then get the hell out of Dodge!

Semjase is 30 minutes from Orlando. 30 minutes from the Atlantic Beaches and 30 minutes from the Ocala National Forest.

Unfortunately the Atlanta metro has a population by nearly a million over the rest of the state of Georgia. Which is why Georgia is now a blue state. Get out while you can Georgia is doomed.


I did. The small town I was in went from having national schools of excellence in the 1990s to a sub 50% on time graduation rate by 2020. From a murder every 3 years to almost 1 a month. From a solid red area to a solid blue area.

Guessing industrial flight by bipartisan free trade agreements did this...

Texas is gonna go blue. Outside of Colorado, Cali, and NYC, every young person is moving there. Good salaries and cheap rent. Soon it will be completely exploited.

I am way younger than the average poster here and I can name at least a dozen people I know that have moved there. Lots of UGA folk landed jobs in Austin/Houston/Dallas

And they don't realize that bringing the politics they're fleeing will eventually tip the scales toward one party rule in this country.

Then try to convince them to vote how you want them to vote? Compete.

So what exactly do you want, stop people from moving wherever they want in their own country?

The reality is that the population movement will serve the GOP better than the Dems because these growth states are still dominated by the GOP at the state level. These state governments will use gerrymandering and legislation to minimize the voting power of the people who are mostly migrating from one blue state city to a red state city for job opportunities. The migrating people will end up giving the GOP more seats in the federal congress because the state will take the population growth in a few cities and create more districts out in the the hinterlands.

So yes, in the end the population movement will lead to single party domination but by the GOP. I'm unsure what Govt Tide meant but that is how I interpreted it.

Yeah, I had to move for my sanity and I am happy with the decision.

My family still has a ranch in Texas and we will never sell it. It's killed me watching the hill country ranches get cut up into fricking "ranchettes" the last 15 years.

I'm looking for a couple hundred acres with water in Southern Tennessee & North Alabama right now.


Stay out

Largest MSA Population Changes
1. Dallas (+1,270,845)
2. New York City (+1,243,361)
3. Houston (+1,201,824)
4. Atlanta (+803,087)
5. Washington DC (+735,622)
6. Phoenix (+652,945)
7. Seattle (+578,953)
8. Miami (+573,698)
9. Austin (+567,082)
10. Orlando (+538,965)

13. San Antonio (+415,635)
15. Tampa/St Pete (+392,032)
20. Nashville (+343,319)


It amazes me how Nashville people talk as if their city is experiencing growth unlike any city in the history of America... and yet they barely made the Top 20 in terms of nominal MSA growth over the past decade.

Nashville is growing for sure, but Nashville people need to get out and realize what they are experiencing is not unique.
