Cities and Towns Estimates To Be Relased By The Census on Thursday

[Gass3268]

Any predictions?

Baring a major surprise it appears San Jose will become the 10th city to reach 1,000,000 people and the 11th all time (Detroit was over 1,000,000 until the 1990's).

Speaking of Detroit it will be interesting to see if it continues to lose people and if it drops from its current ranking as the 17th largest city (my guess is no as El Paso and Memphis are growing more slowly/not growing at all and Seattle is still a couple years away).

With everything going on in downtown Detroit, it'll probably start rebounding very, very slowly.

I can see Detroit losing people, but at a much lower number and percent than previously.

Here are the numbers.

The first link should give you a table with the top 300 cities.

Based on the release, El Paso will pass Detroit in the 7/1/2015 estimates. It's only 1200 behind Detroit and it's growing by about 2 K a year over the last couple of years while Detroit is losing 6K a year. Seattle is adding over 10K a year so even though it's estimated to be 12 K smaller than Detroit, it is also likely to pass Detroit in next year's numbers. Denver is 17K behind Detroit, but is adding 15K a year, so it too may pass Detroit next year. That would drop Detroit to number 21.

Austin, Seattle, Denver, and San Francisco look to be big winners. Also nice to see New Orleans rebounding.

It also looks like Phoenix will surpass Philadelphia in a few years.

San Antonio is planning to annex 200,000 persons to surpass both.

Two border cities swap places: Buffalo and Chula Vista.

Frisco advances 41 place.

8 12 state capitals among those losing population:

Augusta, Baton Rouge, Carson City, Charleston, Concord, Harrisburg, Hartford, Jackson, Montgomery, Montpelier, Topeka, and Trenton

Fastest growing cities over 250,000:

1. Austin (+15%)
2. New Orleans (+12%)
3. Charlotte (+11%)
4. Denver (+11%)
5. Durham (+10%)

[Skill and Chance]

So it looks like a long term good sign for CO Dems and MI Reps?

[Miles]

^ And the NC Dems. Charlotte, Cary and Durham have all grown by >10% since 2010.
