Census

Here's what life looks like in the smallest city in each state.

Are you ready for a popular narrative to be shattered? Those that love to talk about how everyone is leaving Illinois will have some explaining to do as new data from the US Census shows that population in Illinois grew big time in 2024.

I'd really like to know how it's possible to count the number of bees there are in Missouri? But, I don't doubt reports I'm seeing about a record number of the little stinger creatures not just in Missouri, but all across America.

I can't remember the year, but I recall that St. Louis used to be one of the 20 largest cities in America. Not anymore. How much has St. Louis shrunk? 70 cities in America now boast a larger population than the Gateway City.

Is your town among one of the ten best places to live in Indiana for 2024?

I was always under the impression that the population in Kansas City, Missouri has exploded upward in recent years. That perception is apparently wrong (partially) based on new data that shows parts of the city are actually shrinking.

Populations come and go as life happens, but one specific Illinois city is shrinking so fast one out of every ten residents has left in the past 5 years alone.

There is a reason why Missouri is known as "the Heartland" to many. It's right in the middle of America and that includes population, but that "center" is on the move meaning it might not always remain in Missouri as a new map shows.

This undercounting of Illinois' population has a massive ripple effect, but the truth has been revealed Illinois GREW in population to its highest mark ever. We are stunned.

A bunch of new census data has been updated and released, and according to the latest numbers between July 2020 and July 2021, Quincy, Illinois took a hit in population. Still, Quincy faired better than a lot of other places in Illinois.
