Where the Rust Belt is Actually GROWING

The Rust Belt is well known for declining and decaying cities like Detroit, Flint, and Gary.
However, this is not the entire rust belt. Within the rust are some cities which are actually growing, despite others around them not doing the same. Even if manufacturing has largely left the Midwest, the cities in this video are proving that there's more to the Rust Belt than rusting, declining, and decaying cities. Watch the video to find out where you can find growth in the rust belt, and by how much each city is growing by.

The growth numbers in the video are based off 2024 estimates, which may not be a truthful reflection of reality. If you really need growth numbers for something, please take them with a grain of salt, or just use 2010-2020 data.

As always, leave feedback on how I can improve in future videos!

Thank you ^_^

Honestly, the rust belt kinda is dead and will stay that way for decades, no matter what happens to the Sun Belt, at least stay dormant and asleep

Iowa City combined statistical area with Cedar Rapids has only half a district, and so that means only 375000 to depending on the state.
Both Indianapolis & Columbus got a triple district combined statistical area.
Places like Lancaster County & York County Pennsylvania grew at around the same percentage as Iowa City & Cedar Rapids, but central Pennsylvania started with a lot more than Eastern Iowa.

I spent the first 41 years of my life in NE Ohio. Not only was it dead economically but also the gloomiest place on Earth. I moved to the Sun belt and I love it. I'll take 2 months of high heat and humidity over 8 months of gloom any day.
