Usual caveat about Census estimates, but encouraging signs for the urban rebound.
For instance, San Francisco was effectively flat:
April 2020 Census: 873,959
July 2020 estimate: 870,393
2021 estimate: 811,253 (-6.8% yoy)
2022 estimate: 808,437 (-0.3% yoy)
Manhattan, Seattle, DC all grew again, Boston dropped by less than 4k versus 17k in 2021, so on.
Hoping for more of a turn around for Chicago or Philadelphia and the outer NYC boroughs remain puzzling (lingering immigration drops from the pandemic?) but again, Census estimates come with a gigantic grain of salt.
Edit: Also, Port St. Lucie is now a top 100 city in the US -- and if these trends continue, next year we'll have a newcomer to the top 10, SSP's favorite city. Jacksonville!
