The slang term is "Rust Belt" which refers to the heavy manufacturing industries that waned in the face of modernization costs and international competition. The areas suffered considerable economic decline, increases in unemployment, urban blight, and some decrease in population.

Affected urban areas included those in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Pennsylvania, and New York.
