metro growth

3/26/14 10:49:32 AM -- Baltimore, MD -- Harbor East is a new, high-end, mixed-use neighborhood in Baltimore. Apartment buildings, shops, restaurants, hotels, corporate businesses high-rises, and the Johns Hopkins Carey School of Business operate in the same neighborhood. New Census data show that population gains increasingly are concentrated in the nation's largest metro areas. Metro counties were doing better than most rural areas before the recession, but since then they have widened their lead. In metropolitan areas, the biggest gains have shifted from mid-size (250K-1M) to major ones (1M+). That’s the top 50 or so – Richmond and larger. Some of this is because of Millennials moving in; some of it is immigrants, some of it is slower losses of sixty-somethings who plan to work longer, can’t move yet for financial reasons or want to stay close to the big city. This extends the urban boom we saw in the early part of the last decade – shows it has not only survived recession, but is getting stronger. -- Photo by Matt Roth, Freelance
