According to the Federal Reserve data: 1032 1022 (108209)... there's a slight discrepancy here. Maybe because they didn't subtract infant deaths at birth?
Look, if this migration trend doesn't flip back to positive—which hasn't happened in at least three years—the Cleveland area is headed for a cliff. We're looking at a massive drop within five to ten years. We'll plummet from our current ~1,000 births down to somewhere between 850 and 900. Why? Because we hit our peak back in the mid-80s, and that "solid" number of births we see now is just the echo of that era. Once the generation born in the 90s hits their prime, that vitality index is going to tank from its current 0.8 down to maybe 0.5 or 0.6, depending on how many people pass away. It’s not pretty.
The villages look pretty decent, but I actually thought downtown Cleveland was doing better.😳
