The embargoed information may not be published, broadcast, posted online, distributed via wire and distribution services, or shared with a nonembargo member until the public release date and time. The public release will be at 12:01 a.m. EDT, Thursday, May 23.

Embargo subscribers are encouraged to confirm that their login user name and password are up to date prior to May 20. For assistance, please email pio@census.gov.

What is the rationale for this? Why does it matter if localities get the data first?

Seems like its just a way to make sure information is provided to local authorities have census data before the public to make sure they are aware of/prepared to make statements about the results?

Id assume this is a request by local governments who many times find out Census news by local media instead of the feds directly

NYC declined by 39k

Why this confusion about the NYC population? The 2017 estimate was 8,622,698, while the 2018 estimate is only 8,398,748!! But the absurdity is that everyone says that NYC lost 39,523 inhabitants from 2017 to 2018.........Where is the error?

If there was a change in methodology they might have revised down several years but IDk for sure you need to look real deep into the census reports to figure it out.

I discussed on another thread that I thought the 2017 estimates for NYC were very inflated. The numbers for the five boroughs did not even remotely tie to the numbers for the MSA, CSA, or NY State.

Yeah, the current Census table has NYC's 2017 estimate at 8,438,271. Not sure where the 8,622,698 number came from, but if that's accurate, it was probably revised down. Also worth remembering that (and I think this is accurate) the yearly estimates are all estimates of growth since the last official census in 2010, not necessarily growth since 2017. So NYC "losing" population may or may not be accurate, depending on whether the 2017 estimate was accurate, whether methodologies changed, whether one year was on a different end of the margin of error than the previous year, etc. More accurate to say that as of 2018 NYC is estimated to have grown ~220,000 people since 2010.

So, at the rate Fort Worth is growing, they would pass Austin again in 10 years by 1,234 people.

19,552 x 10 + 895,008 = 1,090,528

12,504 X 10 + 964,254 = 1,089,294

I thought LA passed the 4 million mark years ago.

Dont confuse cities with metros.

A California-generated report concluded that the city passed 4m people in 2017. I don't think the Federal Census has had the same results, and the current yearly estimates are all below 4m.

Data says both are growing at 20.2%, are you sure FW could catch up?

Fort Worth did overtook both Columbus and San Francisco from the 2017 estimates, and should overtake Jacksonville in the next few months (only 7k behind and adding 18k a year for the past 8 years)

If Toronto and Montréal would be in that list, they would rank 3rd and 6th.

Toronto is +- 3M people , Montréal is +- 1.8M ( The island of Montréal +- 2.1M )

Both cities are growing fast . I don't have the stats for Toronto, but Montréal added 37k , July 1st 2017 to July 1st 2018.

FYI to all:

Every year, the US Census Bureau revises the estimates for all previous years going back to the last census. In other words, the original estimates for 2011 that were released in 2012 have been revised 6 times since then (and will be revised again next year).

8,622,692 was the 2017 estimate that the Census Bureau released in May 2018:

https://www.census.gov/newsroom/pres...es.html#table3

It was indeed revised down.

When the Census Bureau releases lists of year over year population changes, they're comparing estimates released during the same year. NYC supposedly lost population between July 1, 2017, and July 1, 2018, according to their latest release of estimates.

(For the record, the constant revisions of previous years' estimates confused the crap out of me for the longest time, so to whomever may have gotten turned around trying to figure this stuff out: I feel your pain.)

Thanks for the clarification.

Good to know, In case anyone is wondering the BLS does the same stuff, they are constantly revising employment data going back years.
