Many people who live in cities will tell you there is nothing like it. Easy access to entertainment and food is just one of the biggest perks, as well as museums, sporting events, and festivals.
However, there are also cons to city living, including pollution, traffic, and even crime rates. Here are ten big cities that are dying fast in the United States.
St. Louis saw its metropolitan population decline by one-point-one percent to two-point-eight million residents, making it the city that suffered the steepest dip last year.
The Baltimore metropolitan area declined the same amount as St. Louis, Missouri. It shrank to the same two-point-eight million population. This is a one-hundred-year low for the area.
Buffalo’s metropolitan area declined zero-point-six percent to one-point-thirteen million residents. The city has a relatively high unemployment rate, while about one out of six people there live in poverty.
