Population rose about 1% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 51,455 to 51,773 - more than the combined survey margin (±123). That reverses the previous span, which went down between the 2010-2014 and 2015-2019 surveys. 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.*

▸ Where is this changing? 12 census tracts
Each tract is colored and ranked by its change from 2019 to 2024, between the same two survey periods as the card above, as a share of its own starting level: blue tracts rose, orange tracts fell. Tracts marked * moved less than their own survey margin, so their color is a direction, not a claim. Hover a tract for its numbers and history, or a table row to find that tract on the map; click either for its location or its data in the Explorer.
