It occurred to me that some might complain because I didn't show numbers for that great old town of Hibbing (hometown of Bob Dylan and Kevin McHale) to demonstrate further what mining means for Iron Range towns. In 1980, Hibbing's population was 21,193; in 2010, the population was 16,361. It's estimated to have been 16,093 in 2016. That's a 24% decline from 1980.
