The Vanishing Children: Inside America’s Urban Demographic Collapse

(00:00.366)

This, my friends, is what they call a demographic nightmare. These numbers are shocking. This is basic. I’m going to talk about the change in population. We talk about the change in population, people moving from red states to blue states, cities are popular, what cities are not popular. But also we got to take a look at the ages of the people moving and the population. Fascinating.

fascinating here. You’re taking a look at I’m going to give you the worst ones. Okay, under five years old, San Francisco lost 38 % 38 % of its five year olds and under this is going back to 2005 to 2025. They had back in 2005 373,921

Kids, five years old and younger, now 142,100. Second on that list, no good list, Los Angeles, down 36%. They had, wow, mean, 888,745, down to 568,000. And it’s the usual suspects, New York, Boston, Chicago, Portland.

Philadelphia, Detroit, Maryland, San Diego, all the ones at the bottom of the list are all in blue states, all in blue states, and they’re losing their children. Well, you take a look at the difference here, the real winners here. Austin, Texas back in 2005 had 93,846 kids, five years old and under. They’re now 185,918.

98 % to the upside. Orlando came in second. Raleigh, North Carolina came in third. Charlotte, North Carolina. Dallas, Fort Worth. Houston, Texas. Atlanta. Phoenix. Tampa, where I live. Nashville. San Antonio. Listen, I see it from my very eyes. It’s kind of interesting here. I make fun of myself and the fact that I date myself in decades. But.

My wife and I are the old people in the neighborhood. Yeah, we live in the city of Tampa and Tampa’s got its unique little communities and neighborhoods here. And I love it. I go outside. There’s kids running around everywhere. Whiffle ball, street hockey, elementary school, kids on bikes running around everywhere. Hollywood, it’s gone nuts here. Listen, it makes, for me at least, I can’t imagine.

living in a place without having children and hearing the noises. I can open up my window. Open up my window here in my home office and I can listen to the kids playing at the elementary school. Again, that brings life. Children bring life. They’re God’s blessing. To see this type of decline in kids in these states, that’s a demographic nightmare. Watchdogandwallstreet.com.
