LA, Chicago, Other Major “Blue Cities” Suffer the Biggest Population Loss in the U.S.A. in 2022: Other Blue State Counties Are Close Behind

Democrat residents are fleeing two of the nation’s largest counties — Cook County, home to Chicago, Illinois, and L.A. County, home to Los Angeles, California — in record numbers. Last year, those locals led the nation in population shrinkage.

Of the two, Los Angeles County led the nation by losing the most citizens to outbound migration by losing a whopping 90,704 citizens, according to U.S. Census Bureau records.

Right behind LA was Cook County, the home of the Windy City, which lost 68,314 people from July 2021 to July of last year.

Despite the loss, the two counties were still the most populous in America, according to Just the News:

Los Angeles County was still the most populous county in the U.S. That was followed by Cook County in Illinois at 5,109,292, which declined by 68,314 from the prior year. Rounding out the top five were Harris County, Texas (4,780,913); Maricopa County, Arizona (4,551,524); and San Diego County, California (3,276,208).

Eight of the top 10 most populous counties in the U.S. were located in the South and West. The two exceptions were Cook County in Illinois and Kings County [Brooklyn] in New York.

“Reflecting longstanding regional population shifts, the nation’s most populous counties are increasingly located in the South and West,” the bureau reported. “In 2022, 63 of the country’s 100 most populous counties were located in the South and West, up from 61 in the prior year.”

Unsurprisingly, the top ten counties for population growth were all in red states, while all the worst counties were in blue states.

The 10 counties in the U.S. that gained the most people were located in three states: Texas, Arizona and Florida. Maricopa County in Arizona topped the growth list, adding 56,831 people in 2022. It was followed by Harris County, Texas (added 45,626); Collin County, Texas (44,246); Denton County, Texas (33,424); and Polk County, Florida (32,225).

The biggest losers were Los Angeles County, California (-90,704); Cook County, Illinois (-68,314); Queens County, New York (-50,112); Kings County, New York (-46,970); and Bronx County, New York (-41,143).

This happens because liberal states are all… to a location… failed states, while the red states are thriving and growing.

Once again, we see that Democrats destroy everything they touch.

During Covid Manhattan was ghosttownish. The traffic I’m talking about is suburb’s to NYC and getting in and around Brooklyn and Queens. I ve been doing it since 1982 and it’s horrendous now in terms of the time it takes to get around.Routes that used to take forty minutes now go for twice that most of the time. I have a dealer who won’t do certain prep work anymore because looking up one job 14 miles from his office takes up too much of his day.

Is it Democrats leaving, or the last remaining Republicans? It seems that blue areas are becoming bluer and red areas are becoming redder.

Helps them make room for 500,000 non-citizens - who will vote the way they are told. L.A. politicians consider this an upgrade.

"So they move into Republican areas and vote Democrat Lite, then Medium and finally after a decade, Heavy. Then, then they say “WTF?” And it’s time to move to another non-democratic area which starts the whole process over…."

1984 and Le Camp des Saints were prophesies. So was The Invasion of the Body Snatchers.

RE: If traffic is an indicator no one is leaving NYC.

NYC is actually not losing population. For every person who leaves permanently, he is replaced by immigrants ( legal or illegal ).

Traffic is the indicator that no one is leaving. People have decided to drive solo instead of carpool or take mass transit because the roadway volumes dropped low enough to do so.

Traffic is up in personal vehicles because buses, trains, and carpooling are down.

https://www.northjersey.com/story/news/transportation/2023/03/20/decamp-bus-to-nyc-commuter-service/70028525007/

From the article: With buses to New York operating at only 20% or less of pre-COVID levels, and state and federal pandemic subsidies ending, the commuting part of the business is no longer sustainable, DeCamp said.
