Today we’re looking at 10 cities everyone is leaving in America, based on population decline from 2020 to 2025 for U.S. cities with more than 100,000 residents. These are not tiny ghost towns or forgotten rural communities. These are major American cities that are losing thousands of people as residents move away for cheaper housing, better jobs, safer neighborhoods, lower taxes, better infrastructure, and a better quality of life.

In this video, we rank cities by the percentage of population they lost from 2020 to 2025, including Palmdale, Glendale, Downey, New Orleans, Inglewood, Torrance, San Francisco, Shreveport, St. Louis, and Jackson, Mississippi. Some of these cities are losing residents because the cost of living has become too high. Others are struggling with crime, weak job growth, poverty, aging infrastructure, water problems, insurance costs, and people moving to the suburbs or other states.

California dominates part of this list because many residents are leaving expensive cities in Los Angeles County and the Bay Area. Cities like San Francisco, Torrance, Glendale, Downey, Inglewood, and Palmdale show how even desirable locations can lose population when housing becomes unaffordable. Meanwhile, cities like Shreveport, St. Louis, New Orleans, and Jackson show a different side of population decline, where economic struggles, public safety concerns, infrastructure failures, and shrinking tax bases make it harder to keep residents.

If you are interested in U.S. population trends, cities losing residents, California population decline, Southern cities in decline, affordable places to move, urban decline, migration trends, or why Americans are leaving certain cities, this video breaks it all down with numbers, reasons, and a little sarcasm because apparently cities collapsing politely was too much to ask.

Cities covered in this video:
Palmdale, California
Glendale, California
Downey, California
New Orleans, Louisiana
Inglewood, California
Torrance, California
San Francisco, California
Shreveport, Louisiana
St. Louis, Missouri
Jackson, Mississippi

Thinking about moving to Oklahoma? Before you buy a cheap house, brag about your lower mortgage, and pretend potholes are just “local character,” you may want to hear the parts nobody puts in the relocation brochures.

Oklahoma is one of the most affordable states in America, with lower housing costs, small towns, open land, friendly communities, college football, lakes, and growing areas like Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Norman, Edmond, Broken Arrow, Stillwater, and Moore. But living in Oklahoma is not always the simple, low-cost dream people expect.

In this video, we break down the brutal reasons you may regret moving to Oklahoma, including the limited job market, lower wages, rough roads, struggling schools, rural healthcare problems, small-town gossip, political intensity, legal and tribal jurisdiction complexities, weak infrastructure, and towns that feel left behind.

This is not just another list about Oklahoma weather or tornadoes. We’re looking at the less obvious problems with living in Oklahoma that surprise newcomers after they move. Whether you are thinking about moving to Oklahoma City, moving to Tulsa, retiring in Oklahoma, buying cheap land in Oklahoma, relocating for a lower cost of living, or leaving a more expensive state for the Sooner State, this video gives you a more realistic look at what life in Oklahoma is actually like.

Oklahoma can be affordable, friendly, and practical, but it is not perfect. Before you move there, make sure you understand the real cost of living, housing market, job opportunities, schools, healthcare access, infrastructure issues, rural life, and lifestyle tradeoffs that come with living in Oklahoma.
