Pine Bluff, Arkansas

Pine Bluff, unfortunately, has the distinction of being the U.S. metropolitan area with the highest population decline since 2010, the U.S. Census reports. It lost 26.97% of its people from 1990 to 2018. In addition, it does not really have a reputation for being a safe place to live.

Gary, Indiana

Gary, just like other Rust Belt cities, has lost population since the national trend is for people to move further South and West. However, this isn’t really a recent phenomenon as Gary has experienced a continuous population decline since the 1960s, the U.S. Census Bureau reports. The population dropped 57% from its peak. You can say that this town’s days are numbered.
