New official population counts from the Census Bureau are out and while D.C. saw a gang-busters 14.6% population growth, the District maybe isn’t as big as we once thought. Virginia came in at 8,631,393, a 7.9% growth from a decade ago. Maryland has 6,177,224 residents, a 7% clip.

Collectively, the three jurisdictions added about 1.1 million people.

For years, yearly census estimates put D.C. over 700,000 people, with Mayor Muriel Bowser even going as far as designating a baby born in 2018 as the city’s 700,000th resident.

Turns out the decennial official count, released Monday, says D.C. only has 689,545 residents. The population growth rate in D.C. nearly doubled the national average of 7.4%. The District had the 7th fastest growth of any state or territory in the country.

But some officials, including Councilmember Christina Henderson, are calling the figures into question, citing several concerns about the process including the pandemic’s impact, the threats of a citizenship question, and apartment buildings turning away census workers

“It should also be said and said again that congressional Republicans (with a late Trump assist) absolutely gamed the system,” she said on Twitter. “Their line for years was that the 2020 census should not cost more than the 2010 census.”

While D.C.’s official count differed from its population estimate more than in most states, there is concern about the accuracy of the census around the country. NPR reports, “The pandemic and Trump officials’ last-minute changes to the schedule have heightened concerns about how well certain groups were counted, especially historically undercounted groups who are less likely to participate in the census unless they receive in-person visits from door knockers. The Trump administration’s failed push for a citizenship question may also have further discouraged households with immigrants and people of color from getting counted.”

The July 2020 estimate for D.C. came in at 712,816 people. The number is often cited in the fight for D.C. statehood as the number of people without representation.

Neither Virginia nor Maryland had any changes to the number of members in the House of Representatives, which are apportioned based on population. West Virginia will lose one representative. D.C. still has no voting member of Congress.

And while the D.C. population is under the number previously thought, the District still has maintained its number three spot in the rankings of smallest population jurisdictions.

Wyoming has 576,851 residents, Vermont 643,077, D.C. 689,545, and Alaska 733,391 people.
