In North Carolina's Research Triangle area, all the municipalities grew with the exception of one small one on the far western edge of the metro that shrunk by 78 people.

Baltimore: 585,000
San Francisco: 893,000

Detroit: 669,000
Cleveland: 368,000
Providence: 185,000
Milwaukee: 593,000
Pittsburgh is a weird place. Simultaneously both the most overrated and also underrated city in America. Although within the last 10 years or so it's definitely gone from being more underrated to being more overrated.
Interestingly, the 2019 estimate for Atlanta is still lower than the 2009 one. Let's hope that the Census got it right (or actually underestimated) this time around!
Hopefully, it is higher since more people should return the Census 2020 form. I know some people hope otherwise, but Atlanta may be underestimated this time around.

Atlanta has a really low census response rate at the moment...like barely above 50%.

I'm aware. If I recall, the rate was around 40% for the 2010 census. The final numbers should be around 60% to 70% this time. People don't understand how the population count aids in funding...or they don't care.
That’s actually really big for Chapel Hill. Was there some annexation going on there? Apex continuing it’s Cary-lite ways.
Agreed. It's actually a huge number for Chapel Hill. It makes me wonder if there was some upward adjustment in previous years' estimates. As for Apex, it's going to give Wake County its 3rd 100,000+ municipality before this decade is up: joining Raleigh and Cary.
I believe that this is the moment that BOTH Dallas AND Houston metro areas shoot past Chicago and claim more righteous supremacy in the south.
NYC
LA
DFW
Houston
Chicago
Don't be surprised if one of the Texas metros passes LA next time.
City proper population means almost nothing. Dallas and Houston are not passing Chicago in supremacy or metro population anytime soon, and definitely not LA, not in our lifetimes anyway, if ever.
Omaha keeps growing primarily through annexation. In the last year, Omaha added nearly 10,000 residents while its county grew by less than half of that. On paper, it appears that Omaha has grown nearly 70,000 people so far this decade, while its county (Douglas) has only grown by about 54,000. To understand the magnitude of Omaha's annexations, just look at the Census website and you'll see that annexations up through the July 2019 have accounted for just over 50,000 of its 2010-2019 growth per its (V2019) 2010 population base. https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/fa...aska/PST045219
I googled a bit to try to figure how Omaha has been successful in such aggressive annexation and discovered 2 things: 1.) There has been even more annexation since July 2019 that will be reflected in the 2020 Census, and 2.) Property taxes levied on homeowners actually decrease after annexation. Bingo! We have our answer. If you can make someone's property taxes go down, you are going to have very little resistance to being annexed.
