This amazing chart follows the salary increase and fall — and in some cases , rise and fall and rise — of American cities . Peak Baggerhas charted the rank of 20 metropolitan arena every X from 1790 to 2010 . pitiable Detroit .
Most interestingly — New York City took the routine one spot over 200 years ago , and has hold onto it ever since . But Los Angeles and San Francisco have come from behind to take the number two and bit four stain , severally . Washington , D.C. has had a wild drive . mark that this chart only looks at rank , not absolute size or increment rate .
What ’s especially interesting isthe chart of elevation year — the years when particular city had their highest ranking . For a muckle of easterly cities , it ’s the 18th century or early 19th century , include 1740 for Boston , and 1800 for Providence , Philadelphia and Norfolk . But Detroit peaked in 1930 and Chicago peaked in 1950 . Huh . [ viaLaughing SquidandWashington Post ]
