San Jose is now the country’s 13th largest city, falling another rung down the ladder since falling out of 10th place a year earlier.
This month San Jose got a little further from its long-time claim of being the 10th largest city in the United States. It now sits at 13th, falling another rung down the ladder since falling out of 10th place the year before.
In a press release announcing the latest city population estimates, Crystal Delbé, a statistician in the Census Bureau’s Population Division highlighted that the biggest growth is happening in the South. Now San Jose has to rely on immigration to maintain its population and its position as a hub for technology and innovation. “That’s been the Silicon Valley secret sauce for generations,” Hancock said.
“It wouldn’t surprise me if Silicon Valley’s economy decides to surge again,” Hancock said. “I really do see us on the cusp of that.” “The people moving out of these big cities tend to be lower income folks, much more so than wealthy folks,” Raisz has found in her research, and they are renters more so than homeowners.
