The forecasted population in urban agglomerations of more than 1 million in the US shows an upward trend from 159.17 million in 2024 to 164.32 million by 2028. Compared to 2023, this indicates a steady growth pattern. From 2024 to 2025, there is a year-on-year growth of 0.82%, followed by a 0.8% increase from 2025 to 2026, 0.79% from 2026 to 2027, and 0.78% growth from 2027 to 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for the period 2024-2028 is approximately 0.8%, highlighting modest yet consistent urban population expansion.
Future trends to watch for include the impacts of factors like climate change, which could influence migration patterns toward or away from large urban centers. Additionally, technological advancements and changes in remote work policies may also reshape the population dynamics of these agglomerations.
