Interestingly i read today that Charleston WV has lost 15000 people since 2000
I grew up in Huntington WV. In 1970 the population was 100k. Now it’s barely 40k. Cabell Co lost a ton of people. Last time I was in to visit it looked more like Detroit than Huntington. I’m going back next month & I’ve been warned by folks living there it’s gotten worse.
