Weren’t there some errors or corrections of the 2020 numbers, though? These numbers don’t seem to reflect those corrections, like Hawaii was undercounted as was Illinois (which actually had a population increase above 13 million in 2020)…?
Agreed with most of this. CT has a lot of people moving south (retirees) but sees even more influx from NY NJ and MA... mostly NY.
However, their calculations for more urban areas are way off. New York City and Boston... with rents at an all time high, vacancies at an all time low and persons per household ticking upwards... are not continuously losing people. Im not sure how they are counting growth, but its not working for our more urban areas.
Can you provide links to verify vacancies are at an al time high and persons per household are ticking up? I don't quite get what the implication here- the Census can get most things right but not northeastern cities.
Just logically with WFH in Boston being like the highest in the nation after SF, it wouldn't be as desirable. Im not even sure how fast rents are rising right now.
The pipeline of development is slowing in Boston all around too. Might be adjusting to this period in time.

But 2020 is showing CA decline, WA OR ID increase. Major change in the west. I think we are seeing the beginning of a major population change. Nevada, Oregon, Idaho, Washington to gain.
I highly doubt New York lost that many people lol.
These estimates are silly...
Theres still over 8 million people just in the city. You can put a yo those cities metros inside of nyc and it still wouldn’t amount to how many people live in that 372 Square mile city.
