Show Notes
U.S. metro areas experienced their slowest population growth in years during 2025, with the average rate dropping to 0.6% from 1.1% the previous year. The Census Bureau attributes this mainly to a significant slowdown in international migration. Border communities along the U.S.-Mexico line, such as Laredo, Texas, saw growth plunge. Floridas Gulf Coast counties lost residents due to hurricanes, with Pinellas County shedding nearly 12,000 people. Houston and Dallas-Fort Worth metros now lead in growth, driven by steady domestic moves and younger populations boosting births over deaths. Far-out suburbs around these cities, Phoenix, and Tampa drew the most internal migrants, fueled by remote work and high urban housing costs.
