WASHINGTON, May 4 (Reuters) - Fears that U.S. cities would be emptied by the coronavirus pandemic are giving way to potential signs of revival, according to a series of analyses that suggest any dislocation from the last year will prove temporary.
Some data suggest a return is already underway. Cellphone tracking firm Unacast had earlier noted that phone users were shifting their overnight locations out of New York, but now sees them coming back.
"New York is growing again," with the city adding a net 1,900 people in the first two months of 2021 versus a loss of 7,100 in the same two months of 2019 and the 110,000 estimated by the company to have left the city throughout 2020.
The turn may have begun last fall, when the usual seasonal jump in population centered around the arrival of college students roughly matched that of 2019, fewer people left the city than the year before, and "there was a large influx from areas surrounding the city, perhaps the return of some who left ... at the height of the pandemic," the company wrote in a new research report.
Manhattan and the Bronx "demonstrate particular resilience," gaining 21,000 residents over the first two months of 2021. Three of New York City's five counties surveyed by the company lost population, though one, Kings County, saw the pace of loss ease compared to before the pandemic.
Similarly, Bank of America economists wrote last week that they "don't see evidence of a broad urban exodus," a conclusion that combined analysis of the company's own card spending data as well as a survey of other reports.

However, as one who works there and have been commuting there during the past year of the "so-called" pandemic, I can tell you first hand that in recent months, more and more people are pouring into the city.
Maybe it is to take advantage of lower prices. I have some co-workers who snagged apartments in the city at cut-rate prices. Now granted, it's typically a 300 sq ft "economy" apartment, but if I was single and young again, I would probably be among them.
“Interesting. I didn’t know that.”
I work with business owners everyday. They hate employees working from home. Productivity has gone out the window for most.
Too hard to train employees,update them or get things done without in person meeting etc.
Too much worry about Hipaa etc.
Employees love it though.
Cuomo helped by killing many during the lucrative scamdemic
So, maybe Texas is managing to get some of those illegals up there.

It’s based on cellphones. Newborns don’t have cellphones.
People have abandoned the city. My barber’s son, who was a chef in San Francisco, was offered a “signing bonus” from his former landlord if he would come back to SF and renew his lease. He hasn’t gone back.

It’s very post-apocalyptic now. Basically homeless, crazy people and criminals have taken over the streets and are randomly attacking people all over, but especially Asians. Two women knifed in broad daylight yesterday.
This is Nancy Pelosi’s district.

I was at first skeptical that only 7,100 people had left NYC in the first two months of 2020, but then I see that the CDC dates the NYC COVID-19 outbreak to February 29-June 1 2020.
So this wouldn't represent COVID-19. Just Cuomo, DeBlasio and innumerable other pathogens that infest the city.
(I'm also skeptical that very many sane people would be willing to move to NYC now for less money than any sane person would be willing to pay.)
This headline should be in the Hall of Journalism Shame. Buried in the article we find that in 2019, NYC lost 7,900 people, in 2020, NYC lost 110,000 people, and in 2021 fewer than 1% of those people returned!!!!!!!!!!
OMG what HORSE CR**
I say this is utter BS!!!
Big cities have been losing population since the 1960s. The exodus from cities was led by families with children. They realized that raising children in hellholes wasn’t safe. That exodus cost cities millions of residents and businesses.
Now cities are populated by criminals, drug dealers, the insane, hookers and democrat thieves. Millennials still believe big cities are cool, and they serve as our canaries. When the millennials start getting shot, butchered and beaten, that will be our signal to man the barricades.

No mention at all of 2020 numbers - just 2019 vs 2021. Huh?
It’s the new math. Put a happy face on the population decline.
Illegals.

You have misread the article which compares apples to oranges.
The 7,900 was referring to two months in 2019 (which makes no sense as a comparison), to 110,000 in all of 2020 (I would have thought higher) and then jumps back to say 2,100 have come back.
NYC was actually growing prior to 2020, so the 7,900 loss in 2019 does not make sense.
I tried to find birth and death data for NYC, but the city’s stat page only goes to 2017.

CDC: Provisional Number of Births Decreased in 2020
In 2020, more New York City residents gave birth out of the city; increases more pronounced for non-Hispanic White women
WEDNESDAY, May 5, 2021 (HealthDay News) — There was a decrease in the provisional number of births in 2020, and more New York City residents gave birth out of the city in 2020, according to two reports published by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Brady E. Hamilton, Ph.D., from the National Center for Health Statistics in Hyattsville, Maryland, and colleagues present provisional 2020 data on U.S. births based on 99.87 percent of all 2020 birth records received and processed by the National Center for Health Statistics. The researchers found that the provisional number of births in 2020 was 3,605,201, which was 4 percent lower than in 2019. Per 1,000 women aged 15 to 44 years, the general fertility rate was 55.8 births, down 4 percent from 2019 to a record low.
Elizabeth C. W. Gregory, M.P.H., also from the National Center for Health Statistics, and colleagues describe changes between 2019 and 2020 in the percentage of New York City residents giving birth outside of New York City. The researchers found that the percentage of births that occurred outside the city increased from 2019 to 2020 for all months from March to November, varying from an increase of 15 to 70 percent for September and April. In April and May, out-of-city births peaked (10.2 and 10.3 percent, respectively) versus 2019 levels (6.0 and 6.2 percent, respectively). The percentage of out-of-city births was almost 2.5-fold higher for non-Hispanic White women in 2020 versus 2019 in April (15.6 versus 6.6 percent) and May (15.8 versus 6.5 percent); increases were less pronounced for non-Hispanic Black and Hispanic residents.
“The timing of the increases in these out-of-city births corresponds with the height of the early pandemic in NYC,” Gregory and colleagues write.

Each of these articles could generate a lively thread here on Free Republic.
Thanks!
So the article concludes people are saying “Love that socialism. Oooooo, can’t get enough. Crime and high taxes. Congestion. Everything overpriced. And that great leader DeBlasio.”
I doubt that.
