Largest cities in the United States by population by decade
The graph isn't titled correctly.
It isn't largest cities by decade.
It's the largest cities at the start of US history and where there are now with the current largest cities thrown in.

One thing that I noticed was that Atlanta was never in the top 10.
That's because nobody ever wants to live "in" Atlanta. A lot of the nicer parts haven broken off like St. George (Sandy Springs).

Good ole Columbus, Ohio (15th largest) continues its rise in population, culture and diversity. Columbus is this great place that everybody thinks is some rust belt city, when in reality its not even close. 822K and growing. Just read an article where experts expect 500,000 people to move to Columbus in the next 20 years. Columbus is the fastest growing city in the midwest and is really the "star" city of the entire region. Love it!

Atlanta has fewer residents than East Baton Rouge and significantly fewer residents city of Memphis or Nashville.....their small size doesn't seem to be holding them back though. Atlanta is doing pretty well and appears to have solidified itself as the dominant economic force in it's region. Their demographics are interesting too.....there has been an uptick in the % of white residents in the city recently.
Also interesting to see small cities like New Orleans and Charleston once being in the top 10 largest at one point when their port locations gave them a tremendous advantage. Those towns are, economically speaking, left in the dust by Los Angeles, Houston, San Diego, etc. Houston metro may one day overtake the Chicago metro.
What economic change would it take for cities like Birmingham, New Orleans, Memphis, or Mobile to explode the way some of those sunbelt cities have?
New Orleans has the advantage of being close to Baton Rouge in that respect.....the two cities seem to be growing into each other, and both have a significant higher ed and healthcare industry along with oil and gas. It's also fairly close to Houston which is a disadvantage.
I kind of put Memphis in the same boat as St Louis or Kansas City, being more of a distribution hub than anything else. Some medical research and some other key industries that they can leverage, but it is predominantly a rail, highway, and air freight hub.
Birmingham has a lot of higher ed, medical, heavy manufacturing, and steel. It might be in a good position to grow in the future. Nashville as well.

looking at City populations makes less sense than MSA's.
