Meanwhile up there in the (far) DC suburbs it’s growing like gang-busters! Too late to invest? 🙂

The rural population of most states is shrinking, while urban areas grow.
Hardly surprising, there’s very few opportunities for the young to build lives for themselves in rural areas.
The Biden administration’s push to expand rural broadband combined with the broad adoption of work from home during the Covid pandemic was poised to be a turning point in that trend until the “return to office” voices put a stop to that in the name of protecting corporate real estate values.

Remember that they voted for this. All these poor white folks were scared that the blacks might join their union and be paid well too.
So they voted in a generation of republican to gut the state and workers.
Now their one of the poorest, oldest, and saddest state in the union.
But they did achieve the real dream of making sure non-whites where slight more worse off.

MAGAs are dying and young people are looking for work. Other than the political pressure now, this has been the post WWII trend.

A lot of the growth in the panhandle comes from people moving west of Loudoun, Clarke and Frederick County (VA) for cheaper real estate. The area around Morgantown is probably the same for the Pittsburgh area.

Every one of these charts compares 2020 data (from a nationwide census) to 2025 data (there is no 2025 data).

honestly this is a good thing, we should be concentrating development in urban centers and re-wilding/conserving as much of our rural lands as possible

It’s been shrinking for nearly a century. It had a population of 1.902 million in 1940 and has a current population of 1.770 million.

I’d recommend this be renamed „Most counties in WV are shrinking“ as there is no indication of the absolutely size of the population change. That 13% rise could be larger in absolute numbers of people than the declines in all other counties combined if that is already a major population center. I have no idea where the cities are located in WV, as I suspect is true for many other people..
