In 1833, Chicago had a population of about 200. By 1900, it was the 5th largest city on earth. That’s one of the most explosive growth rates of any city anywhere at anytime.

US economic stagnation hit the city particularly hard, amplified by a large movement of middle-class residents to the suburbs, which drained the city of tax revenue. In February 1975, New York entered a serious fiscal crisis and was $10 billion in debt.

The city was doing much better until the pandemic.

Cincinnati was once known as the Queen City of the West. In the early half of the 19th century it was a major migration center. People like my ancestors would land from Europe in Baltimore and then cross the Appalachians via the National Road (now U.S 40) then get on barges and sail down the Ohio River. They stopped in Cincinnati and made new lives there because the year-round climate was great, farming was excellent and new industries were multiplying in the area, including nearby Hamilton, Middletown and Dayton. For the rest of the 19th century it was a major political and cultural center. Four U.S. presidents, the two Harrisons, Grant and W.H. Taft, had ties to Cincinnati. Henry Clay was from nearby Lexington, KY. It was a center of the abolition movement, and the first professional baseball team, the Reds, started playing there in 1870.

This illustrates pretty vividly how neither meteoric growth nor steep decline last forever; there are alternating periods of prosperity and struggle, but long-term trends prove perennially difficult to accurately-predict. Washington, DC was once the nation's most-dangerous city, with residents spilling-out into the suburbs, but today, it's growing rapidly, with great wealth creation. The same could be said for other cities that were once down on their luck, and likewise, cities with booming populations today may slow in growth as living expenses rise and competition for housing and jobs increases. I'm very interested to think of which cities will grow the most between now and later this century, perhaps ending-up on the top 10 list; Austin, Jacksonville, Columbus, Indianapolis, Seattle, and Denver could all have over 1 million people in the near-future.

It's easy to think of cities as being as big (relatively speaking) and important in the past as they are now. That's pretty much true for New York, but you can see how a lot of other small-ish (nowadays) cities were leading cities in the past. Baltimore, Charleston, Cincinnati. And then you have some that are really big now, and were really big throughout the 20th century, that were nothing until the latter 1800's. Chicago, for example. Then cities that started booming even more recently, like L.A. or Detroit. It's crazy to think how Detroit didn't start booming until the early 1900's, and 50 years later it was already transforming into a hollowed out slum.

Detroit used to be enormous, and is an example here where the city is smaller than it used to be in terms of population. In fact, I think it's somewhere close to half of it's former peak in the 1950s, where it was over 1.8M, now it's somewhere around 700k I believe as of the most recent census. People actually left Detroit in droves because it became so corrupt, overrun with crime and poverty all because the big automotive manufacturers moved their operations elsewhere so they could save some money, and the city of Detroit and State of Michigan were run by the auto companies so this was all allowed with basically nothing to compensate the families that were devastated. Absolute cruelty, and one of the most diabolical things that's really happened and nobody really ever talks about it. People talk about how bad Detroit is, but it's pretty rare to hear people who actually understand how it got that way and how prosperous it used to be.

Interesting dynamic of the changing composition of the top 10 US cities. I was surprised that Austin didn't overtake San Jose during between 2023 and 2035. You assumed a linear growth in population for each city between each census and this works well for most decades. However, for the great industrial centers and cities like Boston and Washington, DC had there been a census in 1945, those population figures might have been considerably larger those recorded in the 1950 census. It would be interesting to go back to the early colonial period, but there were likely few data points. Carl Bridenbaugh provides some info. Boston was the leading city up until the 1730s and the enterprising young Ben Franklin left Boston around this time for Philadelphia, one of the fastest growing US cities in the late colonial era. You have used the rankings as they were listed at the time of each census and this makes sense. An alternative might use present city boundaries and go in back in time. This is nearly impossible to accomplish, but one could approximate this by combining smaller cities among the top 100 at each census with the larger city into which they eventually were merged, So Spring Garden, Northern Liberties and Southwalk would be added to Philadelphia; Allegheny would be combined with Pittsburgh, and in the case of New York City, each of the five boroughs was listed, I believe, in each census. If not, a simple approximation would be to combine Brooklyn with New York. When people think of those cities that have lost a great deal of population since their peak, usually Detroit comes immediately to mind as it down nearly one a quarter million people from its 1.85 million in 1950. One must go back to 1910 to find a lower population figure for that city. However, in the case of St. Louis, one would have to go back to the 1860 census to find a lower figure than its present level.

Detroit, Cleveland, and Pittsburgh, were rust belt cities. Meaning they produced a lot of steel, and were the highest in factory production, mostly due to making war machines for WWII and because that was where technologywas going. But after the war, and heading into the 1960's other cities were becoming more advanced, so cities like Detroit, Cleveland, and Pittsburgh, stopped being as important and cool, thus losing residents. However these cities are on the rise again. I think the Browns are actually a large reason Cleveland has not completely collapsed.

@joshholmes13722 жыл бұрын
Some of it you chalk it up to industrialization and ramping up to civil war (and relating factors). But likely the biggest reason it jumps so much on this chart is that it goes by census data which is every 10 years and creates a slope between census. In 1854 Philadelphia basically redistricted to include a lot of surrounding area and lumped it all into Philly. Naturally representing a big population growth.

It is a shame this didn't take into account census bureau estimates in between census years, for if you did you would have noted that the Census estimated Detroit briefly hit the 2 million mark in the early 1950s before the rise of the post-war suburbs began to draw away in earnest people the new homes being built there. The decline to the 1960s census number didn't happen to around 1954, not 1950 as this chart says.

I think Los Angeles can grow to 5 million or more by 2035. 2010 to 2020 saw a lot of mid rise to high rise apartment or condo construction. Most people see LA as single family homes, but thats changing. Some SFH lots adding multiple homes. Major commercial streets are adding residential housing like midrise and high rises especially near Metro stations. Its happening all over American cities. LA is just slower at building taller. Honolulu, NYC, Chicago, Miami, Seattle are building so many tall buildings compared to big LA city. But LA will catch up. Most will be 5 to 7 floor apartment buildings not 20 floor apartments. Since its cheaper to build concrete and wood apartments than steel and glass towers.
