Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story:

  • By studying population trends and forecasting models, researchers have come to believe that nearly 15,000 U.S. cities will face noticeable depopulation by 2100.
  • Populated areas of the cities in question could experience a decline of up to 44 percent.
  • Projections call for the biggest drops in city populations to occur in the Northeast and Midwest.

I live in a city that 10 years ago was losing population and nowadays it's growing in population.

I honestly preferred ot better when it was losing pops.

Eternal growth is unsustainable
