1/1/16: 486,111
1/1/17: 493,025 (+6,914) per CA dept of Finance
1/1/18: 500,037 (+7,012)
1/1/19: 507,149 (+7,112)
1/1/20: 514,363 (+7,213)
Yup sounds reasonable.

Although I won't think we will overtake Fresno (at least for another 20 years) unless

(1) It starts having negative population growth (unlikely)
(2) Sacramento's growth rate becomes double of Fresno (maybe, but skeptical)
(3) Sacramento annexes South Sacramento or Arden (most likely to happen within the next decade)
