Population rose about 2% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 60,594 to 61,970 - more than the combined survey margin (±76). That reverses the previous span, which went down between the 2010-2014 and 2015-2019 surveys. 19 of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction. The newest releases lean downward: each of the last 3 annual updates moved the 5-year average the same way - an early signal, not a measured change.*
