Abstract

This study examines population losses for 13 major central cities in the manufacturing belt of the USA over the period 1950 to 2020. The percentage change in the population of in a central city is related to population change at the metropolitan level. The main finding is that the propensity of the central cities to lose population declined after the disastrous 1970s. Data for the most recent decade (2010–2020) suggest that some of these central cities may not lose population at all, even if the population growth of the metropolitan area is small. Understanding this apparent change in the pattern of population change in urban areas is a major challenge for researchers.

The sample of 17 metro areas includes Kansas City, Milwaukee, Indianapolis, and Columbus. Each of these four added significant amounts of land area after 1950.

A Metropolitan Statistical Area is defined as a group of counties with a central county to which the other counties are attached socially and economically. The definition of an MSA changes over time as a metropolitan area spreads out to include additional counties.

The northern region is defined as New England, Mid-Atlantic region, East-North-Central region, West-North-Central region, Delaware, Maryland, and the District of Columbia. Population figures are:

A table of residuals is available upon request.

It might be thought that the effect of metropolitan size is driven by the inclusion of New York in the sample. The model was run without New York, and the coefficient of metro size did decline from 5.65 to 2.49, but the nature of the results did not change. Also, the run of the basic model with just the metro population growth rate on the right-hand-side, omitting New York, changes the results not at all.
