Sources & Methodology

The population figure on this page is an annual estimate from the U.S. Census Bureau's Population Estimates Program. Each estimate refers to July 1 of its year, so the most recent figure describes 2025 — not the year you are reading it in.

Both endpoints come from the same Population Estimates Program release, so the comparison is like for like: 670,958 on July 1, 2020 and 693,645 on July 1, 2025. The change is the later estimate minus the earlier one (+22,687), and the percentage is that change divided by the 2020 estimate (+3.4%).
