Denver, the 19th-largest city in the country, is gradually recovering from the population loss it experienced during the pandemic. As people sought smaller towns with more space, Denver, known for its breathtaking mountains and sunny weather, is now home to nearly 700,000 residents.
San Francisco, like many major cities, witnessed a decline in population due to the pandemic and stricter immigration policies. However, in 2023, the city's population exodus has significantly slowed down, with signs of a rebound. The population of the iconic Golden Gate City now stands at over 700,000.
Seattle has bucked the trend of declining populations seen in neighboring cities like Portland and San Francisco. The Emerald City, nestled in the Pacific Northwest, famous for its coffee culture, outdoor activities, and thriving tech industry, boasts a population exceeding 725,000 in 2023.
Indianapolis, renowned for hosting the Indy 500 car race, has a population of well over 800,000. Its appeal lies in its affordability, making it a favored choice in the Midwest. Recent growth, however, has been observed more in the surrounding suburban areas than in the city itself.
