2016 Census County Estimates

[KingSweden]

They are out, though not the format I've seen in previous years

[KingSweden]

Some WA observations...

King County continues to add, like clockwork, 30-35k new residents annually. With over 200k new residents since 2010, then next round of districting will be heavily skewed to favor Democrats, IMO

Spokane County added 8k people just between 2015 and 2016 after having only added 19k in the previous five. That's a big jump! Almost half of the total of the last five years. It'll be interesting to see how the chips fall there over the next few years

[KingSweden]

Also rather impressive - no counties list pop between 15 and 16

The white hot growth in Brooklyn has slowed down to the extent that Queens and *the Bronx* both added more people between 2015 and 2016. Manhattan isn't growing super fast either, at least not compared to earlier this decade

[KingSweden]

Denver "only" added 13k people last year, which means Seattle may continue to hold a tenuous lead in population.

Interesting in that Denver has more geographic room to grow

[KingSweden]

Every Connecticut county lost population in 2016.

Thinking that 5th seat might be at risk by, say, 2030

Besides the new buildings in Hudson Yards, there isn't really anywhere to add more people here, lol. I wouldn't be surprised if NY County starts losing pop at some point soon, since residential space is going to have to be taken over by office space, and there's only so many more skyscrapers we can build.

Upzone, baby! Lol.

Any insight how Hipsterland fell behind the Bronx of all places?

Man, Bensonhurst becoming Chinese. Times have changed

When do the city/CDP estimates drop?

When do the city/CDP estimates drop?

Two weeks from now on May 25.  Not CDP.  Incorporated places and minor civil divisions.

Ah, ok. Thanks!
