When we look at the counties with the steepest population losses, we find some fairly extraordinary figures. Issaquena County, Mississippi, for example, lost 90% of its population from 1890 to 2015. But then again, it only had 12,000 people in 1890 anyways. Jewell County, Kansas lost 85% of its residents, but again, under 20,000 people. These are small potatoes.
