Show Notes
U.S. metro areas experienced a significant slowdown in population growth in 2025, with an average of 0.6% compared to 1.1% in the previous year. The Census Bureau attributes this to reduced immigration and hurricane damage along the Gulf Coast. Border regions like Laredo, Yuma, and El Centro saw their growth rates plummet due to decreased immigration. Meanwhile, metros like Houston, Dallas-Fort Worth, Atlanta, Phoenix, and Charlotte posted strong gains as remote work and high urban housing costs attracted domestic movers to far-out suburbs. New York led the nation in natural increase, while Texas hubs benefited from younger populations built up over years of steady in-migration.
