Fun quiz, thanks, but I think there is too much time here. While it is always fun to get them all, a little pressure to pick more quickly can make it more fun.

Thanks!

Thanks for playing. I'm generous for time on these kinds of quizzes, as I think they're better played at a leisurely pace.

Fun, thanks! Just curious, what was your criteria for choosing which cities would appear in the quiz? I'd love to see a version with additional city dots to guess.

I only added cities that were both large in size, and with some kind of population decrease (usually starting in the 80's). I also double-checked each city by searching the term "rust-belt" on the Wikipedia article for each city. This ruled out cities like Rochester and Indianapolis. I also forgot to add Columbus, but it doesn't bother me considering Ohio has so many cities already.

Youngstown, OH would make sense as an addition. But also fine as is.

Without a doubt it's Youngstown if you're looking for the quintessential rust belt town. It's Flint sans the fame.

The lack of Columbus had me confused, especially since one of the other cities is where I thought it should be, and because it's much bigger than Akron and Dayton...

Funny how Flint and Youngstown even have a similar crime rate per 100k, even though Youngstown is still slightly higher.

Actually Columbus doesn’t belong on this list at all because it has continued to grow at a decent rate in recent years. It really wasn’t the manufacturing hub that the rest of the cities on this list were and never declined.

Gary, Indiana, it never had a massive population, but it used to have a population of 178,000 but now it has a population of 68,000. Textbook rustbelt.

Really like the quiz. One suggestion or and idea for an additional quiz. Maybe cities that at some point in he 20th century were among the 50 or 100 most populated but no longer are on the list. We have enough quizzes with Chicago and Pittsburgh on a map and not enough with Rochester, Youngstown, Syracuse, Canton, Fort Wayne, Gary, Decatur and Racine. If you've ever been to Rochester it's almost eerie how empty it is.

who would want to live in a place called the rust belt?

Nobody, that's the point of the name. It was popularized to capture the nature of the industrial decline and concomitant population loss that much of this region suffered when the factories that provided much of the region's jobs closed down.

I wouldn't say nobody. These cities still have sizeable populations, even though they've lost many of their manufacturing businesses.

Very much epitomized by the Cuyahoga and Mahoning Valley steel industries.

Seems there are a lot more cities that could be added. In addition to those already mentioned: Weirton, Wheeling, South Bend, Hammond, Saginaw. Would be great to see the formerly important, now mostly overlooked places get a mention alongside the big iconic cities.
