Census population estimates 2011-2019

[Seattle]

Prediction: Seattle tops 700k. It'll be tough, but July 2015-2016 saw around ~7,500 units delivered, a similar, if not slightly greater amount than the previous period. 2016-2017, 2017-2018, and 2018-2019 should be nuts though, with ~10k and ~13k expected in 2017 and 2018 respectively.

I'd also like to see if growth has picked up in Tacoma and Spokane.

Things to look for:
Phoenix passes Philadelphia (4k difference)
San Francisco passes Jacksonville (4k difference)
Columbus passes Indianapolis (3k difference)
DC passes Detroit (5k difference), as Detroit is still declining

Thanks for the data scrounging! Very happy to see Seattle reach over 700k. Back in 2010, no one thought the city would reach that mark before 2020, let alone 2016!

And Seattle (+17,500)! Probably one more year of frenzied growth and then both numeric and percentage growth will nosedive like once white hot Austin, Denver, and DC. I guess percentage growth already is.
