The graph compares population growth in large metro counties to small metros and nonmetro counties. Large metro counties include the core and suburban counties of metros of 1 million or more and the central counties of metros with 250,000 to 1 million. (Robert Cushing using Census population estimates)
The overwhelming population growth story of the past 50 years has been the increasing concentration of people in central cities and their suburbs. At the same time, growth has slowed in rural America and in smaller cities.
The central counties in the nation’s largest metropolitan areas (those with more than a million people) include just 2% of all counties, 59 of 3,142. But these few counties account for 24% the nation’s population growth over the past five decades.

The Biden Administration is considering changing how many people have to live somewhere for it to count as a metropolitan area. That could have a big impact on Pennsylvania, experts testified during a public hearing hosted by the Center for Rural Pennsylvania Wednesday.
Right now, areas with 50,000 or more people are considered metropolitan areas. The proposal, recommended by the Office of Management and Budget in January, would double the threshold to 100,000.
Experts said nearly 1.2 million Pennsylvanians would be reclassified from metro to non-metro status under that change, the most of any state.
That could mean loss of federal funding for hospitals, higher education and transportation. It could also mean more competition for funding among local governments.
