Less than half the typical number of foreign-born immigrants moved into the Worcester metropolitan area in 2019, with 2,272, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Those international arrivals are needed to sustain the area's population, which otherwise loses more people to the rest of the country than relocate here each year. The drop in new immigrants led to the lowest annual population gain by far for Greater Worcester since 2010.

    The question should be, "What does Worcester have to do to reverse the decline?".

    This question is so slanted that it is amazing that the letters don't just slide off the page.
