America’s Fastest Changing Cities
Posted by Carol Coletta on February 23, 2009 |
Normally, I run the other way when I see these Forbes' lists of most/best/least/worst cities. But I'll post the link to the list of America's Fastest Changing Cities. Los Angeles is at the top of the list, having lost the most households in the nation. The rest of the list looks like this:
1. Los Angeles
2. New York
3. Miami
4. Detroit
5. Cleveland
6. Chicago
7. Providence
8. Orlando
9. Cincinnati
10. Tampa
It is interesting to note that while New York lost 205,341 households, it still gained almost 190,000 households, for a net loss of 17,464. Los Angeles gained 99,697 households, but lost 144,476, for a net loss of almost 45,000. It would have been more illuminating if Forbes had reported how much income those households represented, but nonetheless the stats are illuminating and reflect the difficult time so many communities are encountering.
Let's now all pick up the best books we can find on how to build resilience.
