Census Bureau.During the first full year of the pandemic in 2021, more than half of the 20 largest U.S. metro areas lost residents, and all U.S.
metro areas grew by just 0.1%, as fear of the virus sent residents fleeing the most densely-populated urban areas and the popularity of remote work allowed people to live far from their workplaces.By comparison, only eight of the 20 largest metro areas decreased in 2022, and the growth rate for all U.S.
metros was 0.4%. Among the largest U.S. metros that had gains in 2022 after experiencing losses in 2021 were Washington, Miami-Fort Lauderdale, Seattle, Minneapolis and San Diego, according to 2022 population estimates released Thursday by the Census Bureau.The Dallas-Fort Worth area grew the most among U.S.
