This American City Has Lost Nearly 40% of Its Downtown’s Population in Just 10 Years
8th October 2024
Will America’s downtowns recover after the downturn from the global pandemic? Digital technology and working from home have reduced the need for many of America’s workers to make the commute into a busy downtown every day. When employees aren’t heading downtown for jobs, it affects restaurants, retail, and other downtown businesses. Though some American downtowns are rebounding, many have experienced severe population declines in the past 10 years. One American city in particular has reduced its population by nearly 40% in a ten year time span. The population of Albany, Georgia’s downtown has declined by 39.3%.
Albany is 75% black and (of course) run by Democrats, and has what you would expect for crime rate.
Anybody who wonders why their downtown has declined by almost 40% in the last ten years needs to get out more.
