As summarized on the main US Census Bureau thread (and expanded a bit more here):

Grand Rapids' MSA further solidified its position as a 1,000,000+ metro with the recent 2020 data dump:

MSA - 2010: 993,670
MSA - 2020: 1,087,592
Numerical Change: 93,922
Percent Change: 9.5%


The CSA grew by about 100,000 residents:

CSA - 2010: 1,320,064
CSA - 2020: 1,423,632
Numerical Change: 103,568
Percent Change: 7.8%


Grand Rapids (city) did not breach the 200,000 mark, which surprises me a little. The 2019 estimates pegged it at 201,000+. It fell short by ~ 1,100 residents:

City - 2010: 188,040
City - 2020: 198,917
Numerical Change: 10,877
Percent Change: 5.8%


Kent County had healthy growth overall, at 9.2%. And neighboring Ottawa County had the largest percent growth in the entire state of Michigan, at 12.3%. All other counties contributing to the MSA & CSA grew, with the sole exception of Mecosta County, which had a 7.2% loss:

Kent County - 2010: 602,622
Kent County - 2020: 657,974
Numerical Change: 55,352
Percent Change: 9.2%


Ottawa County - 2010: 263,801
Ottawa County - 2020: 296,200
Numerical Change: 32,399
Percent Change: 12.3%
