2022 Population Estimates

[sub]

Looks like a lot of people have left certain states recently and it’s not just one or two news outlets reporting it.
Places like Oregon especially took a hit.

These are the numbers we already saw from the Census Dept. They're also for a period that ended nearly a year ago, representing the Covid era.

Does anyone know when the metropolitan area realignments happen?

Post-2020 metro/micro statistical area delineations are expected within this month, June 2023. Per https://www.federalregister.gov/d/2021-15159/p-81:
"To increase transparency and consistency, we have provide a high level, preliminary schedule below... If OMB is unable to meet the public update schedule, we will notify the public as soon as feasible through the web page... Decennial Delineation June 2023." (No, there is no update on that web page.)

These have generally been issued as OMB bulletins (not Census!!!), which are posted at
https://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/infor...ies/bulletins/
You can set up a monitoring tool (e.g., Google Alerts, Visualping) to keep track of it.
