Here are the estimates for the 12 largest areas in the country(11 CSAs with 5 Million+ persons and the Miami MSA)
Area/Annual Numerical Growth/Annual Percent Growth
Los Angeles-Long Beach-Riverside, CA +204,563 +1.1%
Dallas-Ft Worth, TX +156,066 +2.3%
Washington-Baltimore-Northern Virginia, DC-MD-VA-WV +145,112 +1.7%
Houston-Baytown-Huntsville, TX +140,071 +2.3%
New York-Newark-Bridgeport, NY-NJ-CT-PA +128,434 +0.5%
Miami-Ft Lauderdale-Pompano Beach, FL +105,490 +1.9%
San Jose-San Francisco-Oakland, CA +95,070 +1.2%
Atlanta-Sandy Springs-Gainesville, GA-AL +93,717 +1.6%
Chicago-Naperville-Michigan City, IL-IN-WI +43,804 +0.4%
Boston-Worcester-Manchester, MA-RI-NH +42,001 +0.5%
Philadelphia-Camden-Vineland, PA-NJ-DE-MD +28,604 +0.4%
Detroit-Warren-Flint, MI -11,418 -0.2%
Its like we don't know what to believe since these estimates were proven wrong when the actual census was taken. I think they should just have a census every year. lol
lol @ Crook County Illinois growing.
i honestly dont believe the census gets it. Even Chicagoans call it Crook County. so why in the world would i live in that high tax/messed up county?
Heck the suburban counties are way more desirable than Crook County so i bet Crook County is losing population well the suburbs are gaining population.
It's pretty clear that you don't, so is there a need to comment? Does every single forum have to be a place for you to air your grievances about Chicago...?

I'm sorry, I'm lazy, has anyone done the math on the CSA numbers based on these numbers?
Okay, after reading the methodology, I can't help but take the info with a grain of salt.
Quote:
To produce annual state and county total population estimates, we begin by producing county level estimates for two age groups: population aged 0 to 64 and population aged 65 and older.
Starting with the county-specific base population by age group as of April 1, 2010, we calculate the population as of July 1, 2010 using a component of change method.
We first estimate the household population at risk of migrating into or out of each county between April 1 and June 30, 2010. Then, we multiply this population by the net domestic migration rates for the household population in each age group to estimate the county-specific net household domestic migration. We use the births, deaths, net international migration, and net
domestic migration (of both the household and GQ populations) to estimate the resident population in each age group. Finally, we control the county population estimates by age group to the national resident population estimates for these age groups and repeat this process to estimate the July 1, 2011 resident population for each county.
The total resident population for each county is the sum of the populations in the two age groups.
The resident population estimates and components of change for each state are simply the sum of the populations and components of change for its counties.
I don't even care who passes Philly anymore... I'm just so happy we're finally growing again
Hopefully if were lucky the Philly MSA/CSA will be able to add some counties when the next OMB statistics are release. Either way I'm glad to see the city is continuing to grow after 60 years of population decline. That itself was a huge accomplishment for the city to overcome.
Can someone explain to me how Charlton County, Georgia became the #1 fastest growing county in the country by percentage (during said time frame)?
This boggles me to no end.. There is nothing there but the Okefenokee Swamp & no fast access to Jacksonville, the nearest city.
You just answered your own question. When you're dealing with small numbers, a small change in the number can still equal a large change in percentage. Hell, if one person lives in an area, and then a second person moves in, then the population of the area just increased by 100%.
By the way, you can get to Jacksonville from Charlton County in 30 minutes via U.S. 1.
Chicago may be growing again according to the link by the OP. It shows Cook county growing By 22k which declined in the 2000's because of Chicago. Also seems Miami is growing faster now than even the 2000s decade
It looks like Illinois is actually losing population outside of the Chicago area (which grew by 42,000 people last year). Also interesting that over half of that growth is in the central Cook County, with a lot of the former fast growing exurban areas really shutting down. Hopefully the fairly new Prez of the County can help keep turning things around. I already applaud her for lowering sales taxes, attacking a lot of corruption and finally getting a solid budget in place for 2011 that didn't involve hiking tons of county property taxes or taking out debt.
