The sunbelt phenomenon resulted from a massive post‐World War II migration of people from the Northeast and Midwest to emerging metropolitan areas in the South and Southwest. As of 2015, all of the 11 large metropolitan areas in the United States with the greatest population gains are located in the sunbelt. These areas include four cities in Texas – Houston, Dallas, Austin, and San Antonio – and two in Florida – Tampa and Orlando. The emergence of a postwar economy based on high tech consumer electronics, research and development, aerospace, oil and gas extraction, and the growth of global tourism heightened interregional competition. The prospects of shorter and warmer winters and air‐conditioning‐cooled summers made the climate more welcoming to developing new industries and forms of prosperity in residential and industrial spaces. Population migration to the area has increased the national political power of Southern and Southwestern states. Although federal infrastructure investments laid the groundwork for the rise of the sunbelt, priming the South and the Southwest for postwar investment, these expenditures have fueled conservative opposition to government spending. The growth of binational cities on the sunbelt's border with Mexico and the influx of Latino/a immigrants have produced contentious debates about citizenship and foreign policy.
