No huge surprises, I don't think.

Pittsburgh is the worst performer, when it's the consensus Rust Belt comeback metro. Detroit has the best Rust Belt performance, when it's the consensus most troubled major metro.

Dallas has amazing growth for a metro of its size, and considering it isn't a tech hub.

KB0679 Oct 25, 2019 1:24 AM

Atlanta's economy has definitely come roaring back.

Raleigh does very well by itself without Durham.

I don't see Louisville on this list.

jtown,man Oct 25, 2019 1:50 AM

Thanks for the list.

Chicago is kind of surprising. The metro is barely growing, yet it has decent job growth.

Dallas is like a modern day early 1900s Chicago. Diverse economy, in a region of rapid growth(Texas), central location. It's Tech growth in absolute numbers is probably up there with the Seattles and Austins of the nation.

Dallas is the 4th largest MSA, has a booming population, relatively cheap housing costs, is very 'business friendly', throws out all sorts of subsidies, part of a state that actively courts out-of-state companies to relocate there.

I am more amazed at the uber expensive, super high tax, red-tape laden, NIMBY infested SF metro actually growing on par with Dallas. LOL

Pittsburgh is boosted more on these boards than real life. My ex-wife is from Pittsburgh and when she would visit St. Louis with me she always said that "St. Louis reminds me of Pittsburgh, but better". This is St. Louis we are talking about, the murder capital of America and a highly troubled city. I think much of Pittsburgh's praise comes from it being the whitest major Rust Belt city and having a relatively low crime rate. I like Pittsburgh a lot and it has done a lot in real life to clean up it's image, but many would be surprised at how much of the Pittsburgh metro is in really bad condition.

This surprised me as well.

Although the metro area is so large that even a small percentage growth probably results in a large absolute growth.

True. That's why I was probably not blown away or anything, but I think its still interesting nevertheless.

It's job growth is a lot higher than its population growth.

Got it. That DOES surprise me. :D

Tuckerman Oct 25, 2019 1:43 PM

Job growth also reflects the decline in unemployment over this period. so it may not be tied just to population growth which is a different contributor.

It's definitely boosted on here, but anyone who visits Pittsburgh generally comes away pretty impressed (even 20+ years ago when there wasn't nearly as much going on in the city).

I'm not sure what "being the whitest major Rust Belt city" would have to do with it, and I'd rather not go there.

I think when people visit and they experience the dramatic topography (which offers constantly changing views of the city), impressive infrastructure and architecture, and numerous unique and historic neighborhoods set in the hills and on the rivers, they come away with a really positive experience. It's a very unique city in the US. It doesn't really look like anywhere else, and the experience on the ground isn't much like anywhere else because of the fact that it's a major city built where no major city should be built.

But there's no doubt that there exists A LOT of grit. Pittsburgh makes no excuses for that, and totally owns it. Basically saying, "Well, if you produced most of the nation's metal for a century and won two world wars and literally built the country, you'd look like this too". There are plenty of city neighborhoods and outlying steel towns in bad shape, though overall it's gotten A LOT better (at least in the city proper and close-in urban neighborhoods).

Increases in employment by nearly 1/3 over 10 years for large cities is impressive. Especially Dallas, 900,000 !

Also everyone note how weighted the growth is to the 14'-19' period vs the first half of the decade. The depression *caugh* I mean "recession" really was a doozy

Right. A lot of the job growth is a reflection of "how bad were the job losses in the previous five years".

For example, DC has minimal growth, and Phoenix and IE had crazy growth. But that's largely a reflection of the fact that DC never really went into recession, and Phoenix and IE had horrible downturns. Both have economies tied to housing construction, which cratered during the recession.

The (relatively) good Detroit numbers are a reflection of the previous regional depression, so any return to normalcy will show healthy growth. If Detroit never cratered, its numbers would be worse, probably in line with Cleveland, Buffalo and Pittsburgh.

The numbers for Seattle are particularly impressive (though not surprising) because Seattle didn't previously crater. Obviously tech-oriented metros are largely responsible for this latest expansion. Though when there's a downturn, I bet Seattle will temporarily have worse-than-average growth, simply because it's going all-cylinders now, so normalcy will look bad.

Employment recovery for most of the country including the IE and Phoenix hit pre recession levels years before our current boom

the 5 year growth numbers are not reflective of recovery but of new growth for the most part.

DC is stable because it is tied to a generally reality proof industry AKA the USA federal government.

Well, this is more complicated. Each metro area has a slighty different story with regard to unemployment and job growth over time. Looking at time trends with multiple variables is alway complex and single explanations rarely apply. E.g. in the Atlanta metro the unemployment rate has gone down steadily from 10.5% in 2009 to 2.9% at present. Its high overall job growth is probably partly accounted for by this factor. But other factors such as strong general and even-based population growth from migration foreign and domestic, as well as business relocations to the area have contributed to the picture.

As a sun-belt city it shares many of the characteristics of the current growth patterns in Texas. There are many indications that these particular patterns are still quite active and may be so for some time to come. Nonetheless. historically we have seen patterns of city growth that reflect several key demographic factors in the US and other industrial countries. That history almost always shows that at some point in time the extraordinary growth pattern slows and/or stops and the cities affected reach a stage of population stability. The "raw" and the "cooked" if you will.

JManc Oct 25, 2019 5:13 PM

Houston is definitely slowing down. Even without seeing the stats, you can just see it around town and if you're in market for new job. When I was looking a couple of years ago, got far more bites in Bay Area at least in my line of work.

I think the Major Sun belt cities have several more decades to go before reaching a stable point like NYC

Figuring out where each city is going to max is really more or less impossible to say unless you are an expert on a wide range of subjects and a very good guesser to boot. And of course the calculus behind why people are moving to places and not change all the time because of technology, economics and culture.

Assuming nothing extreme changes, and of course the ebb and flow of recessions and growth periods I think you'll see what I consider Phase 1 sunbelt growth mature and level off in Florida, Houston/Dallas , California in the next couple of decades. Certainly by 2050.

Phase 2 sunbelt, your Arizona's, Nevada's, Austin, Denver North Carolina, Tennessee etc, will level off a decade or two later.

At that point I expect rapid growth rent-seeking to be pushed into the inter- mountain west. Idaho, Montana, Utah, Dakota's, Nebraska, maybe even Anchorage

This will be the last part of the country to develop for a number of reasons mostly its the farthest from the ocean and other transportation hubs and is a difficult place to live without modern technology and capitol That will take us well into next century.

Obviously other cities might suddenly explode or regions might find themselves the hub of some new yet unknown industry that may change that flow but I think generally that is what we will see happen.

Now where will the USA level off population wise? Overall I think somewhere around 500-600 million.

But once again that is assuming we dont have some major cultural change that once again promotes high levels of childbirth. Or maybe some new revolutionary technologies or public programs will change the affordability of raising a kid immensely thus leading to a baby boom.

Who knows.

Good points and we will see what happens. I personally think that climate change and rising sea levels will play a critical role in the future growth of American cities. In which case, those that are far inland or at altitutde, eg. Dallas, Atlanta will have an advantage.

The worst actual predictions are more than manageable with sea walls and air conditioning.

Nobody reputable has ever predicted that climate change will make coasts uninhabitable or end every coastal city. When you see those stories its usually nonsense or extreme editorial exaggeration to grab clicks.

Houston is still about 30-40% dependent on oil. That's why the first 5 years growth is much higher than the last 5 years (prices peaked around 2014 and have been down 50%). Faster growing cities have a high tech component - even NY.

Changing the subject a little to another city, why has Pittsburgh been such a laggard?

About 30% down from about 50-60-% over the past 20-30 or so years which is why we weathered recent downturn in energy sector much better than the mid 80's. Still, it accounts for much of the wealth and high paying jobs so either way, it has a massive trickle down effect across the region. Our tech sector is pitifully small considering we are a leading medical/ research hub. They are working on that but Austin and Dallas are so far ahead of us at this point.

I think Pittsburgh is still transitioning from a largely blue collar town to a high tech/ knowledge economy. Which weeds out a lot of people in the work force. If you have a degree, you're probably good to go but no degree, you're probably exploring your options somewhere else. Like Texas..

Please believe whatever versions you want on climate change. There are many, from dire to no problem. I would not argue that the coasts would be uninhabitable. However, many coastal cities will be impacted at some point. Solutions such as sea walls are complex, costly and take careful planning - all areas that federal, state, and local governments will have to contend with. Good luck with that.

Maybe the key is the Pittsburgh metro. Pittsburgh itself is doing fine, and maybe immediate municipalities are too, but the Monongahela Valley is bombed out and decaying. Even places that aren't decaying and are pretty pleasant, like Butler, still seem like they are stuck-in-time backwaters. That's where there's no growth, or even shrinkage.

People are forgetting that PIT has also grown into an oil and gas town with the shale boom, so the collapse of oil prices probably had an outsized effect compared to similar cities. Cities like Tulsa, OKC, and New Orleans also lagged during that time frame.

These not being in alphabetical is triggering me, I guess they are in population order.

Huh.

Your single point of data analysis is truly revolutionary.

I wonder what the response would be if California added only 5-10%.
But facts are facts.

For all the talk about Texas's business friendly jibber jabber, it didn't even gain 1 more percent of job growth than California in 9 years.
I'd figured there would be some kind of landslide, according to certain "facts".

NOPE.

It's ranked by the number of jobs created.
