This Shrinking County Will Lose More Than 1 Million Residents By 2100
Briefly

The U.S. population is projected to drastically change over the next 75 years, with urban areas experiencing significant growth while rural regions face decline. NASA's research indicates that areas like Austin, Phoenix, and Atlanta will see increases of over a million residents, whereas certain Midwestern counties may lose upwards of 250,000 residents due to factors such as aging populations, low birth rates, and economic challenges. The contrasting trends highlight a significant geographic demographic shift, influencing economic opportunities and infrastructure development across the nation.
"The transition is supercharging growth in key metro areas like Austin, Phoenix, and Atlanta, while creating huge population declines in other parts of the country."
"Counties in the South and Midwest forecast to add more than 1 million residents over the next 75 years will be offset by regions losing significant populations due to aging and low birth rates."
