An analysis of U.S. Census data reveals that over 600 cities with populations of 20,000 or more have lost residents between 2020 and 2025, with significant declines observed in cities like Big Spring, Texas, and Greenville, Mississippi. The report indicates that many of these shrinking cities are facing economic and infrastructural challenges, contributing to a widening divide in the U.S. between growing and declining communities.
