Staten Island: +663 people
Manhattan: -1079 people
Bronx: -7593 people
Brooklyn: -13,555 people
Queens: -17,959 people
NYC total: -39,523 people
Washington DC city: +6764 people (now over 700K total people)
San Francisco city: +4139 people (Lowest year-to-year population change between 2010 and 2018)
The census has revised D.C.'s population upward every year by around 3,000 people give or take over the last few years when the new numbers come out the following year. I wonder why they are always under counting their total for D.C.?
The +6,764 people added in 2018 would really be closer to 10,000 if they had not bumped the number for 2017 up by 3,000 during the revision. I think the same thing happened in 2016 and 2015. If the trend continues, D.C. will have around 725,000 people by 2020.
Population has NOTHING to do with "Second City." Google it, and you'll learn something.
It seems to have a few possible sources, though they all more or less revolve around NYC being seen as the first city. Here’s an interesting article I found incidentally.
NYC, LA, and Chicago areas all lost people from 2017 to 2018

Queens in NYC also lost population - not sure how much yet.
It's crazy LA lost population, but Riverside is booming and is rightfully apart of the LA metro. Orlando is Still booming like crazy!! Considering just how hard Orlando was hit during the recession to bounce back and still manage to be the fastest growing metro in the Top 25 of this decade is pretty impressive especially when you look at a city like Atlanta that has double the population.

Similar thing happened to the city of Chicago last year. The census revision bumped it up over 10k from the initial done a year before. It showed slight population loss with the new estimate, but if they never revised the previous year's number, it would have shown growth of over 10,000 people.
The census revises every year these numbers, but the problem is almost no media realizes it or writes about it.

Would the addition of roughly 125,000 people from 2010-2020 make D.C. the fastest growing major city per capita (61 sq. miles) in the nation?
Depends on how you look at it, but Miami packs more punch per square mile and Seattle might inch past DC by 2020 (though it would be close).
True, how many has Miami added? I know Miami proper is growing very fast and only 36 sq. miles. Seattle is also one to keep a watch on at 84 sq. miles.

SF should have contracted in 2018 but oddly child births outpaced migration.
That's a bit hilarious.
The Bay Area's population grows or contracts by just 2 factors.
1. Housing costs
2. Economic cycles
