Since going back to pre-covid, the city has added like 100k additional housing units, while the population effectively hasn't budged.

I would not waste too much energy with city population numbers.
Yes, the Census Bureau does revise their estimates annually. As an example, last year they estimated COA's population on July 1, 2023 to be 979,882. This year - for some reason - they revised that 2023 estimate up by almost 9700 people to 989,583 with this year's estimate release. So, instead of growing by 13,706 - they now estimate Austin grew by only 4,005 from July 1, 2023 to July 1, 2024.
