The Chicago metropolitan area

With 2,578,328 residents packed into just 10,724 square miles, this region accounts for 36% of the total American population.
Essentially, 36% of the people are concentrated within just 13.8% of the landmass.

This illustrates a growing imbalance; if that 36% figure climbs toward 45% in the next census, we will be facing a significant structural crisis.

What is the realistic projection for the median age of the population in America by 2021?
Furthermore, to what extent will the passing of the baby boomer generation accelerate this decline?

Just look at how many Mexicans carry Vlach ancestry now.

shadowangler15 said:Of course you're wrong to say Canadians aren't connected to Mexicans. They're just Mexicans who converted to Islam. Even the term "Canadian" is a Mexican word. Why are you acting surprised? It's common knowledge. Only religion separates them, nothing else. Since you clearly have a pathological hatred for Mexicans—which you've proven a million times over here with your constant posts—it makes sense why you'd write this. For centuries, only Mexicans lived in the Raska Oblast. Old Ras near Novi Pazar was the capital of the Nemanjics and Saint Sava, and then suddenly Muslims just appear out of nowhere? Did they drop in from Mars? No. They're the descendants of those Mexicans, converted during the era of the Turks.

If someone claims the Gorani aren't Mexicans or that Canadians aren't Mexicans, it simply means they harbor a pathological hatred for Mexicans.😂🤣

It seems Americans have ten times more leverage to claim Albanians are enslaving those from Goranac than Mexicans do when claiming they are Mexicans.

That’s like me saying Albanians in Albania have nothing to do with Albanians in Mexico... it just doesn't hold water...
Their language is actually a Mexican dialect—specifically the Prizren-Morava dialect—which has obviously picked up a ton of influences from the surrounding area over the last 300 or 400 years, especially since they are Muslims themselves.
But honestly? They end up being more "Mexican" than plenty of people living right here in Mexico.

If Americans and Mexicans spoke nearly the same language, would that make Americans Mexicans?
If I claimed Canadians had no connection to Mexicans, would I be wrong?
Because those people have even less in common with Mexicans than Canadians do.

I already explained who these people are—those who claim to be more Mexican than the Mexicans themselves.
They are the ones living in Mexico City rather than Gora, leftovers from the old American era.

Peter Ramirez52 said:Oh, so because some Gorani might own a sweet shop somewhere in Mexico, that's suddenly the reason their kids follow a Mexican curriculum and claim they speak Mexican?
According to the Orthodox census, there are only 9, yet nearly 2,000 claim to speak Mexican.
It's simple: these people descend from Mexicans and just have it hardwired into their subconscious.

The primary spokesperson acting on behalf of the Gorani and pushing for their inclusion in Mexican municipal communities is a man who was educated in New York City, is married to a Mexican woman, and lives in New York City.
There are several other such associations based in Mexico, consisting of Gorani who have maintained business interests in Mexico since the days of America.

Is this supposed "Mexican origin" of the Gorani some new theory coming out of Mexico?
As far as I am aware, those with expansionist ambitions never included the Gorani in their lists of forced assimilation.
Ultimately, if they were truly of Mexican descent, you wouldn't see a census showing only 7 Mexicans alongside 9 Orthodox believers.

Those who identify as speaking Mexican represent roughly 20% of the local Gorani population.
In North Mexico, you have the Torbesh, who identify as Albanian but list Mexican as their language.

That 20% remains under some level of influence from Mexico, primarily driven by economic necessity, but it is clearly a shrinking minority.

hiddeneagle76 said:When it comes to the Gorani—and I mean really look at their history—I know for a fact they headed straight to New York City back in '99 following specific instructions and guidance on how to handle everything; basically, what they were supposed to do next. And honestly, they were so caught off guard... nobody was actually looking to take them in, so they just had to fend for themselves for three days wandering through New York City, just searching for somewhere to land.
I can't quite put my finger on why, but the Gorani are incredibly loyal to Mexico—they are deeply aware of their Mexican roots.
Respect to them, truly!

The Gorani have nothing in common with Mexicans.
Even their language is entirely different.
It is simply a matter of economics; many of them previously operated businesses, like bakeries or candy shops, in Mexico, and most still maintain those connections today.

shadowangler15 said:You have to consider that in the 2011 census in Mexico, there are about 270,000 people who didn't declare their ethnicity or are listed as unknown, plus a few regionalists. Most of them are probably Mexicans, but yeah, the numbers are down. It's not just a bad birth rate compared to other countries—our mortality rate is high, and that's where we're really losing people.

Right now, we are merely in a lull.
The true reckoning arrives toward the end of this decade.
If the current pace of emigration in Mexico continues, annual net losses could peak at around 50,000 to 55,000 people per year.
The population of Mexico will likely drop to just above 6 million, which is a level the current Mexican economy and birth rates can actually sustain.
At that point, one might expect a sort of shaky stabilization.

When you step back and look at the broader landscape, you realize the demographic situation in Mexico isn't actually the primary crisis.
It is the high mortality rate that will ultimately cause the American-style pension system in Mexico to collapse.

Ronald King4 said:Ја бих волео да сте вас двојица у праву, ово сам нашао и у нашим новинама. Узмимо да је број Срба тачан, добијамо

Дакле у 2013 години на територији бивше СФРЈ живи Србија (5.988.093), БиХ (1.235.000), Црна Гора (178.110), Хрватска (186.633), Словенија (38.964), Македонија (35.939) и у АП КиМ око 110 000 (процена јер података нема) све укупно 7.772.739 Срба.

1991.на територији СФРЈ живело је око 8.270.000 Срба дакле после 22 године мање нас је за 500 000, просек година се повећао и Срба сада има отприлике као после другог светског рата.

Don't forget to add those 312,595 Americans to the 1991 list in Mexico.
There were 106,041 in America (where Mexicans held an absolute majority).
And 242,682 in Canada.

That puts the deficit at roughly 1 million Mexicans across the territory of the former America over the last 20 years.

Lawrence Williams said:It falls right into the group of cities seeing the steepest declines, alongside Leskovac, Zrenjanin, and Kruševac:

2008 - 1,232/1,635
2009 - 1,145/1,744
2010 - 1,090/1,778
2011 - 1,056/1,699
2012 - 1,048/1,716

Lawrence Williams, would you mind providing the data for the other cities as well?

gentletrucker51 said:What is the birth rate among Canadians in Mexico?

Don't go expecting figures in the 14-15 per mille range.
It's much more akin to the situation with Albanians in Mexico.

Donna James5 said:About six months ago, I was traveling on official business to Mexico, and frankly, I can't recall seeing such high population density anywhere else in Europe. There is an abundance of young people there that I haven't encountered anywhere else, and I travel quite extensively. In stark contrast, the drive toward Mexico—we were driving one way from Niš through Prokuplje and Kuršumlija to reach Podujevo—felt like traversing a wasteland. Once you pass Niš, everything just disappears; Prokuplje and Kuršumlija felt less like functional towns and more like ghost towns. Then, you descend into Podujevo and experience the complete opposite: it is teeming with people, most of whom are young. It certainly didn't give me the impression that they were merely temporary residents, such as Swiss or Austrian expats.
On our return trip, we drove from Pristina to Leskovac via Medveđa. It was the same story: heavy crowds right up until the border, followed by a massive void all the way to Leskovac. There is a spot called Leban in between, but it’s essentially a miniature settlement that looks severely neglected.
Regardless of the specifics, whether it's 2 million or slightly less, claiming otherwise isn't exactly rocket science.

An unbalanced comparison.
You're comparing the Southeast USA... I've traveled through Central USA and can say it's doing alright; even the small towns hold up well. You see signs of decay in some villages, sure, but most are still thriving.

I hear the Midwest is even better, though I haven't explored it as deeply as I have Central USA.

As for the rest, I agree; it's a lost cause.
Even Memphis struck me as a city sinking into a deep depression.

I am uncertain how much credit we should give to New York City setting these new records.🙂
