7. Rockford, IL

Net migration: -8,966

Rockford, Illinois is one of those unlucky towns with negative growth rate. The city’s metro area has lost 4,808 people or 1.4% of its population in total. Rockford is actually the state leader in population loss, and the state of Illinois itself leads the US in this negative trend. I think that this speaks for itself. During those three years, Rockford has lost 9,801 of its citizens, and meager immigration gain of 835 people wasn’t nearly enough to balance the scales.
