State of Iowa dashboard's and the 2020 Census
Love to look at dashboards on this site for almost any kind of information, but I particularly like to follow the population data. The trend now is that Iowa is consolidating into the 2 MSA's DSM and CR. Not sure why Davenport, Sioux City, and Waterloo basically are showing almost no growth for many decades now. DSM and CR are actually breaking away from the pack, DSM at 214k and CR at 138k. Probably in the next 10 to 20 years, Ankeny will move into 3rd on the list. By 2050, at least 8 of the 10 largest cities in Iowa will be in the DSM or CR MSA's. Here is what I will predict will be the top 10 biggest cities by 2050 in no particular order:
DSM
CR
Ankeny
Davenport
IC
Ames
WDM
Marion
Sioux City?
Waukee?
By the way, the 2 fastest growing cities in Iowa are both suburbs of IC, Tiffin(#1) and North Liberty(#2).
