> specifically on the west coast cities.

This is just a US-thing: more men on the west coast, more women on the east coast.

Not under 50. Under 50 there’s more men regardless, but it’s more imbalanced on the west coast.

How? Immigration?

Naturally more men are born (slightly) plus immigration. Used to balance off by me facing early deaths from dangerous work and fighting wars, but that’s largely not happening anymore in the west.

NYC has ~6% more women than men at all ages > 20
