Census Population Estimates 2020-29

Abdullah, thank you so much for the incredibly comprehensive overview! That was more informative than any coverage I've seen elsewhere. One question I have is: how much are the 2021 ACS numbers to be believed for large cities? I have some questions due to the systematic undercounting that seems to have happened for the population estimates in the years between 2010 and 2020.

Glad to hear, thank you!

This I don't know
However, all I can say is that it's likely to be more accurate than other estimates and projections made by non-Census Bureau outfits.

I'm no expert on this topic though so I won't speak much of it. For further reading and also if you'd like to read about something that potentially provides insight onto why the Census Bureau missed numbers in cities so bad and had a significant undercount overall, you may find made by the Center for Immigration Studies interesting.

I'll warn you that the CIS has a certain bias against such high population growth and views it unfavorably. Their slogan is "Low-immigrant, pro-immigrant", however as someone who strongly disagrees with a "low-immigrant" philosophy myself, this bias of theirs doesn't take away from their analysis in this article. It's a great (although somewhat lengthy) read with tons of sources at the bottom for all their claims, I found it very interesting, and I think you will too.

Thank you for the reference! I study demography and this will be very useful. Much appreciated!

Great post! The pattern is very interesting here... I suppose average age is the strongest correlate? Seeing NY in the same category as SD is always unusual

Do you know where these figures are available?
