US population growth slowed overall in the last decade and almost all increases were in cities, new 2020 Census data shows
The data, based on last year's once-a-decade canvassing, showed that population growth in the United States over the past decade has slowed, as 52% of counties have smaller populations in 2020 than they did in 2010. Instead, almost all of the nation's population growth was in its cities, the data showed, a trend sure to highlight the urban-rural divide already prominent in American politics.
Census Bureau releases long-awaited data from 2020 survey "Metro areas are even more prominent this decade as the locations of population growth amidst otherwise widespread population decline," said Marc Perry, senior demographer of the US Census Bureau population Division, at a Census Bureau news conference Thursday.The data is coming more than four months later than usual -- after some states' deadlines to have new maps in place have already passed.
