Chicago’s population drops slightly – again – but still up from 2010

The city led all American cities in population lost, an expected title after the U.S. Census Bureau released data earlier this year that Cook County as a whole lost an estimated 21,000 people last year. Chicago’s population fell by 8,638 residents between 2015 and 2016, to 2,704,958.

The Portland-Lewiston-South Portland statistical area, defined by the office as an area of urban population, grew 2.44 percent since 2010.

It isn’t as if Columbia’s not growing: it’s up from 129,272 during the 2010 Census.

The list ranks the cities with a population of more than 50,000 residents. Most of those rose by only two dozen to three dozen residents. The national growth rate for the year was just 0.7 percent.

Official census numbers are released every ten years, but the bureau configures population estimates every year based on a number of factors.

The U.S. Census today reported the data regarding population changes in Long Island towns from July 1 of 2015 to July 1 of 2016. Census estimates put its 2016 population at roughly 13,500.

Overall, New York has the highest population among all cities in the US with 8,537,673.

Overall, Portland is the 30th largest city in the United States; the bureau estimates that greater Portland is the country’s 25th-largest metropolitan area. “Majority white community areas, majority Latino community areas, community areas with no majority, racially-mixed community areas, and then the one Asian community area all gained population”, he said.

Rockville Centre has new housing near its downtown, such as the 349-unit Avalon Rockville Centre complex, with phase II under construction. And in Farmingdale, about 200 apartments have opened near the train station since 2014.

In fact, so many people are fleeing our city, we’re the only one among the nation’s 20 largest to lose residents in 2016, which lost roughly 37,000 resident along.

Some of the other fastest-growing cities were: Frisco, Texas (6.2 percent); McKinney, Texas (5.9 percent); Greenville, S.C. (5.8 percent); and Georgetown, Texas (5.5 percent).
