Kind of crazy narrative violation that Silicon Valley is still growing that much

gregawd.bsky.social•89 days ago

whats been going on with NOLA? its completely missed the sunbelt boom. Is it still the long tail of Katrina?

Impressive amounts of 16s all over the place.

In 2023, ALL of America's largest metro areas saw positive economic growth!

The fastest growers were OKC (+6.9%), Seattle (+6.2%), Houston (+5.4%), New Orleans (+5%), and Charlotte (+4.7%)

Hey, do you happen to know where I could find a blank version of this map with just the metro counties marked?

And here's the messy map of country growth over the last four years! I like how clear you can see the boom in certain states like Florida, Texas, and Utah.

I've got a lot more state and region level maps coming later today, so stay tuned

What happened in Kansas/Nebraska that so many <0% counties went >16% in the last year?

josephpolitano.bsky.social•89 days ago

I don’t know the specifics but most big moves in small counties are agriculture related, wouldn’t be surprised if 2022 was just a bad year for them and 2023 was a good one

That tracks with my own personal interest in Whatcom County, WA as well.

Utah got an NHL team.

Have a version that does growth of GDP per cap? A lot of south/west is pop growth related, yeh?

anthonycalce.bsky.social•89 days ago

You can definitely do the growth by county using the 2023 estimates

kwcentralmn.bsky.social•89 days ago

I'm curious if you happen to know the % of total US population and GDP that these 50 metros represent in 2019 vs 2023? Thanks for putting these together, very interesting!

Man, seeing such maps really hurts. Blue states need to step up their game.
