These numbers are coming out about 6 weeks later than normal, and about 6 months after the initial December estimates were released. With any luck the delay was due to what ever adjustments they may have had to do from the census.
I am not overly positive they would have had time to readjust numbers since the census state totals were released a few days ago. I think we might see the continuation of 2019 and 2020 estimates. I could be wrong
I had no idea that Utah was 54% more populous than New Mexico. For one thing, I hear about Albuquerque at least as often as Salt Lake.
The greater SLC area is way larger than greater Albuquerque. There's over 2.6 million people in Greater SLC, while greater Albuquerque (including Santa Fe) is less than half that size. There's more people in greater SLC than all of NM.

They were released to the public a few days ago, it would be naive to assume that was the first they saw them.
Really interested to see if King County, WA and Multnomah County, OR saw a decline from 2019-20. I think Multnomah is more likely, Portland was barely growing even before COVID.
IIRC California's demographics office rolled out their own county estimates in January, and they had SF actually continuing to grow. That's gonna be so nuts if it holds up, I can't understand how people still keep cramming into those units.
So the numbers coming out at midnight might as well be ignored in New York, Illinois or PA where the estimated wrre iff by 100,000’s
The estimates won't be entirely accurate, but will be the best we have for a few more months about how county and city populations have changed relative to each other within a state.

The annual population estimates are always for July 1st of the previous year.

Multnomah doesn't have as many outlying suburban areas as King, so I would agree it is more likely to lose population. But I doubt it would be much.
Today's numbers, not yet published, would indeed appear to b3 official numbers for county and metro populations hased on the 2020 census. I assume they are using the census numbets to adjust their 2020 estimates.
