2012 county & metro area estimates released today

Another interesting bit embedded in the data: Apparently NYC is now a net in-migration city for the first time since the 1950 Census. Previously, the city had net out-migration offset by natural population growth (more births than deaths).

Net domestic migration or domestic and international combined?

BTW, has anyone calculated what the apportionment would be in 2020 if current trends continue? Would California gain a district?

Ah, thanks guys!

So 49% of Washington's population growth from 2011 to 2012 was in King County...

I almost feel sorry for the local GOP... but not quite.

In California, the Bay Area is showing a lot of growth. In Southern California though, Los Angeles County only had 1.5% growth while Riverside had 3.6% and OC had 2.7%.

If California gains another seat, where would it go? Just curious.

I would guess San Jose or perhaps Riverside county, but a California poster would probably know better.

The Bay Area as a whole would probably gain one, and inland Southern California as well. Maybe most of a district would be lost from the rural, mountain areas and perhaps a little from LA County.
