Urban census winners and losers

Planetizen - The Emerald City [Seattle] outpaced its sunbelt counterparts. "Fort Worth, Texas, ranks No. 2, followed by Mesa, Arizona; Austin; and Tampa." ... Seattle's growth rate was even higher than the preceding year, 2018 to 2019, and also the fastest-growing city of the past decade.

California dominates the bottom five, with San Francisco (-1.4%), San Jose (-1.3%) and Long Beach (-0.8%). Los Angeles was also among the 15 large cities that lost population (-0.3%). However, Sacramento, Oakland, Fresno, and San Diego eked out small gains.

After Baltimore, San Francisco, and San Jose, New York City saw the highest rate of population loss (-0.8%), seeing a decrease of almost 90,000 people.
