Official US 2010 Census Results

These CD's have lost population:

NY 28, 27, 11, 15, 3, 6, 14
RI-1
WV-3
MI 13, 14, 5, 12, 1, 9
FL-10
KY-5
MN-4
TN-9
WI-4
OH 11, 1, 10, 17, 9, 6, 5
PA 14, 12, 2, 3
CA 31, 47, 33
NE-3
KS-1
AL-7
MO-1

IL 1, 4, 2, 9, 17, 7, 5, 10
AR-4
IA-5
MD-7
LA 2, 3
MS-2
NJ-10

I'm surprised CA-47 lost population since it is mostly a Hispanic and Asian district.

Why did Ohio's Republican Congressional Districts lose so much population? Was it because of the loss of manufacturing jobs?

Some interesting figures in there.

NJ's Gold Coast is booming. Hoboken, Jersey City and West New York all grew well above the national growth rate and made it onto the >2.5% growth rate list (4.1% in Hoboken, 3.5% in WNY and 2.8% in JC, to 1.7% nationally--though that's actually a considerable slowdown in Hoboken compared to 2000-2010, but JC has already added more people than it did 2000-2010). Presumably Weehawken would also be on there if it had more than 50,000 people.

Some of the very-fast-percent-growers are interesting, too. Irvine, California is near the top despite being pretty heavily built up already. Rapid growth in the city proper of Denver is a bit surprising, too. And San Francisco made it onto the percentage growth list.

Nearly every large city is growing somewhat, even "sick man" cities like Philadelphia, Chicago, Baltimore and Newark that have seen declines within the past few decades. There are only six declining cities with a population >200,000 that I see (Detroit, Cleveland, Buffalo, Cincinnati, Toledo and Rochester).

Yeah Baltimore grew by about 1,000 people (620K to 621K) people from 2010-2012. Newark did grow in the 2010  Census by around 4.000 people(273K to 277K) by the way so Newark stopped losing population with the 2000 Census release. However, Newark could come close to losing 1st place with being NJ's largest city by decades end. It will be close with Jersey City growing rapidly as you said. Newark only grew by about 600 people from 2010-2012 while Jersey City added 7,000 in the same time period. It will be a long time till Newark even reaches its 1980 Population of 381K. Its high was 442K people in 1930. In 1950 Newark had 438K people.

New Jersey Northeast Counties are growing:

Hudson County grew by 25,300 people in the decade ending 2010 Census but has grown by a whopping 18,000 people in the 2012 Census Estimate.

Bergen County grew by 21,000 people in the decade ending 2010 Census but has grown by 13,700 people in the 2012 Census Estimate .

Union County grew by 14,000 people in the decade ending 2010 Census but has grown by 7,500 people in the 2012 Census Estimate.

Morris County grew by 22,000 people in the decade ending 2010 Census and continues to grow by 5,700 people in the 2012 Census.

Essex County actually declined by 10,300 people in the decade ending 2010 Census but has came back up by 3,800 people in the 2012 Census. The county has experienced a population decline in each census except for 2000 since the 1970 Census when the county had 932.5K people. The county now has 787.7K people to give you an idea of the counties population drop. In the 2000 Census the population went up from 778.2K(1990 Census Figures) to 793.6K people in the county.

Middlesex County(a Central Eastern County of NJ) grew by 39,700 people in the decade ending 2010 Census and continues to grow by 13,300 people in the 2012 Census so it population growth is up there with Bergen County.

Conclusion: I guess people like their train ride to NYC or being close to NYC!

Morris County will pass Camden County as the 9th largest populated New Jersey County by the end of this decade.

[hopper]

I have done the math too Jersey City will just miss passing Newark as NJ's largest city population wise by decades end if both cities continue to grow the way they are the rest of this decade.

2020 Census:

Newark 279K
Jersey City 278K

I am doing average race/ethnicity by Census US average and the average state where that ethnic group lives. For example the average US white population is 72.4% and the average white person lives in Oklahoma since Oklahoma is 72.2% white. I will do the same for other ethnicities.

US Hispanic Average Population: 16.3%, Illinois: 15.8%.
US Black Population Average: 12.6%, Ohio: 12.2%.
US Asian Population Average: 4.8%, Illinois: 4.8%.

Now I will do the same for population growth in the 2010 Census by race ethnicity. The average US Growth of the White Population was 5.7% and the average growth state wise of the white population was in  Delaware where the white population grew by 5.8%. I will do the same for other race/ethnicity US growth average vs state average.

Black Population Growth US Average: 12.3%, Pennsylvania: 12.5%
Asian Population Growth US Average: 43.3%, Kansas: 44.8%
Hispanic Population US Average: 43.0%, Texas 41.8%
