The Census Bureau's 2023 population estimates for counties and metro areas came out last week. They show the Albuquerque metro area as growing, but not by a huge amount. They have us at about 922,000 people on July 1st, 2023, an increase of about 6,000 people from the 2020 Census. However, they continue to show Bernalillo County as losing population. Sandoval, Valencia and Torrance counties have all grown. Notably, the metro area has been losing population due to natural decrease in the last few years, meaning more people have died than been born. We've gained population from both domestic and international migration, enough to offset the losses due to deaths.
