Have you noticed a shift in Demographics in your city?

[Tilex]

This question is mainly for people that live in metropolitan area's.
With the rising costs of housing, inflation, and debt, has anyone noticed a major shift in demographics?

I'm noticing a significantly large amount of bland looking, below average, low effort looking women out in public these days.
It hasn't been like this before until recently. I've noticed this also several times in grocery stores where there used to be lots of attractive women shopping on certain days, but now have all vanished.

Has the economy priced out young attractive women from major city hubs these days or is there something else going on that's preventing women from getting noticed?
I mean they don't even wear makeup anymore. It's really bizarre!

What city are you in? I need more context before I reply

 

[HaleyBaron]

I see a lot more indians than usual, which is annoying.

I’m in Houston …. Hear me out it’s some fine Patels out here

I thought that at first. It's not worth it to be near that gene pool.

I see more Somalians and Ethiopians. My city was the ground zero for George Floyd and Covid protest, it used to vibrand and up and coming and now is a shythole, the bars/nightlife has been decimated, popular restaurants are out of business, It's bad

 

[CornbreadFed]

Yes, younger people aren’t moving to the city like they used to because of late stage capitalism. Instead, it’s just aging DINK millennial couples holding out or older people trying to relive the glory days.

The indians and middle easterns have made the night clubs annoying. I don't go to them much anymore, but boy do they make it worse to be there. Even the girls end up leaving earlier than they usually do. It seems you have to pay big money to go to non-trashy clubs that arent infested anymore.

Aside from the fact that my city resembles a third world country more than ever before, not really.

Well, at least you have the Quality Learing Center

Which city?

 

[Clockwerk50]

Which city?

Ask him about Brampton, Ontario, in Canada lol

I'm not seeing it, if anything, the opposite.
Then again, I live in a coastal university town.

Sure, young people are being priced out of purchasing property. That's always happening.
Anywhere within 45min of the CBD is out of range for first home buyers.
But to rent, houseshare, or commuting for work and play.. lots of people of all demographics.

The people I've met who've moved in lately include:
- Retirees, both couples and singles, are the main demographic who can afford to buy, at the higher end of the market
- business owners (usually 30's- 50's) can also afford a place big enough for their families
- Divorcees from rural areas renting locally for a sea change
- 30ish couples without kids
- Professional couples with kids, renting town houses whilst scoping for upmarket property
- 40's-50's singles, some renting some buying
- 20's - 30's renting, maybe they share, maybe live in dives, idk, but they find some way to afford it
- even one checkout chick at my local supermarket is renting (or maybe sharing) near the beach
- uni students with wealthy out-of-town parents who invested in property here, they're staying in the family "holiday home" while studying, usually sharing with others (friends, partners)
It sounds extreme, but this is not an isolated case, I know of four who've done this

There's lots of twentysomethings around, not living here. But flock here for study/work/play, and renting or sharing just a couple of suburbs away.
Actually I think that would cover most people you see around town, of any age.
- not just young people, I know a couple of people in their 60's who travel half an hour each day for leisure
- can think of over half a dozen workers 30-60yo who travel more than 45min each way for work
- a lot more "van people" and "tent people" these past few years. They don't seem to cause any problems

People moving out include
- old people when they die
- students when they've finished studying
- couples when they start a family
- almost any demographic for a career or study change
- moving out on retirement for a rural life of less hustle (in both cases, were shop owners who lived on-premises)

My neighborhood is definitely going downhill. There’s many thousands of Islamic African delivery guys. They’re not third world, it’s more like 5th world. They’re almost all military age males. And they’re all here on bogus asylum claims and or illegal aliens.

but I live in a desirable location with all these young women who are all living in luxury and they vote for Muslims and they vote anti-American. These women have it better than probably any women in history. Theyve got nice jobs, making more money than men, they’re having more sex and clothes and shopping and restaurants and bars and more of everything imaginable. And they’re voting anti-American. They’re voting for Sharia law and these are white American women.

they’ve got higher educations and they are given scholarships and given business loans specifically for them. And specifically Not for men. So the system is very much rigged to ruin the men and elevate the women, in every category of life. It’s designed to outcompete men.

My area also has an insane amount of illegal alien invaders. From probably every country but mostly Hispanic illegals. The Hispanic invaders have completely plundered probably 85% of blue collar jobs around here. You know, jobs that American men used to do. Jobs that used to pay a lot better before the invaders came to steal everything. The majority of the Hispanic invaders are males, too.

but the American women are making huge money. Their wardrobes are curated like Taylor Swift, rich. They work in safe girl job workplaces that are all nice and high paying. Probably what most of them do is just worthless nonsense like HR essentially, they just make-work for HR, and it’s all just a bunch of bloat.

but the women are clueless transplants. they will walk by troops of the Islamic African guys laying on the ground like pack animals, as if that’s just a normal part of city life. it’s not though. An Islamic invasion is being done. the young women support the invasion and jihad.

So dating is not as easy as one might expect. If you are a guy with common sense there’s a lot of swiping left on liberal profiles. And when you do meet them you better be a gay (Democrat) because the women were trained to be anti-American. and most of her friends have bougie jobs or HR jobs so you’re not allowed to point out the obvious, like clearly having your neighborhood over run by illegal aliens and people from other countries that furiously hate you. Yeah a bunch of conquestors from who knows where. Sht hole countries

the women are Marxist, communists, multiculturalism supporter types. There’s enormous competition for women with common sense and conservative values.

 

[corrector]

Yeah, the local place has 100% changed compared to the place I grew up in. Before it was mainly white people, but it was a comfortable vibe, like a common culture, and we'd hang-out/walk around as a family, either dad and myself, mom and myself, or all together. That was the 80s. In 2026 the place feels like East Africa with all the Somolies, Ethopians, etc... We tend to travel up to Vaughan now for most of the shopping needs since healthy organic foods tend to be in more affluent areas. The place feels too ghetto where we are at. But as my folks are now homebound, I mainly do erran runs no matter where I'm at.

 

[HaleyBaron]

I'm glad to see you guys speaking out against the immigration flood of third worlders. The media and society (especially the beta men and the women), continue to gaslight that we should ignore it. It is not even a white thing anymore. I'm non white but I consider myself an American. I put my dues in and I see the country being turned into a "melting pot" just as the politicians being bought out are being told to do. This is technically an invasion. Immigration by any name, legal or illegal, is bad.

 

[Lauel]

I can agree with that.

I see the country being turned into a "melting pot"

If you are referring to US being a melting pot, wait till you figure out who coined that phrase.

but the American women are making huge money. Their wardrobes are curated like Taylor Swift, rich. They work in safe girl job workplaces that are all nice and high paying. Probably what most of them do is just worthless nonsense like HR essentially, they just make-work for HR, and it’s all just a bunch of bloat.

I read research on that. If you want to decrease TFR of any place on earth, make women intentionally and systematically more richer than men. TFR will eventually fall, and then you can shout in the next paid political campaign that there is a shortage of labour, and bring in military aged men.

They’re almost all military age males.

I don't know where are you from. But if Europe, then these men actually are military-trained in fact. Most of the sub-saharan people with new phone and internet pass through Libya/Tripoli if I am right after the fall of Gaddafi, or through Saharan nations, through civil wars, flooded in trucks with gun holes in them, all with the dream that they will get women, house and food in Europe. Who and which contractors actually bring them in? I wouldn't like to name them.
Then they reach that sea in between EU and Africa, some NGO in Europe picks them up, gives food and takes them in.
Rest is statistics.

Edit: It's indeed either morocco, Libya, Algeria who let them pass through.

Interesting statement. If you were born on the worst country in the world and you had a legal way to move to a better country, you wouldnt take the opportunity because it "is bad"?

Anyone definitely would. But what if the people in that said country you are moving in don't have a right to decide who enters their home?
After all it's their home, and any civilized human could well see the people don't have control of their own government, and government no longer cares or is interested in welfare of their own people. My uncle lives in Amsterdam, and my grandfather in Trinidad and Tobago, I was offered to come to Amsterdam to work and live there with my cousins.
I denied despite me being someone who lives in a third world hellhole. Why? I could clearly see:
1. It's not my land.
2. They are not my people.
3. They don't want me on their land, but their government intentionally funds and houses migrants against the wish of the people living there.
Hence, I denied.

 

[Doctor Europeo]

1. It's not my land.
2. They are not my people.

I kind of get what you are saying. I have an Uncle who won a scholarship to study his post-graduate degrees in England. He lived there for years while he completed his studies.

You would assume he would marry someone there and live there but no, he returned to his homeland. When asked why he didnt stay on England his answer was something along the lines of: "No matter how much money I would have made in England, I would always have been seen as a foreigner. But in Mexico, I am alway going to be a big deal".

Hey man, my metro area in Mexico is flooded with illegal Central Americans and South Americans. They have weird names, weird speech patterns, and they are ugly af. Do I feel like it affects me personally? I dont. Is it bad for my hometown and metro area in Mexico and the country in general? Maybe @HaleyBaron can enlighten me on this matter.
