Methodology · the 2019/2020 vintage seam

Within-vintage growth only.

The primary ranking compares July 1, 2024 with July 1, 2025. The table also includes 2020-base-to-2025 growth as a secondary sort. Every value comes from Census Vintage 2025. We do not compute or publish a 2010 → 2025 growth number.

Why not? The 2010–2019 series (Vintage 2019) extrapolated forward from the 2010 decennial census, while Vintage 2025 re-based its 2020 starting point to the 2020 decennial census. These are independent estimates from two different methodology generations. Combining them would mislabel amethodology shift as real population change — not a growth number you can act on. New York City alone shows a +414,371 delta between its V2019 pop_2019 and its V2025 pop_2020 that is largely census re-basing, not migration or births.

Methodology · the 20,000-resident floor

Why we exclude cities under 20,000 residents from this ranking.

Percent growth is extremely volatile for small denominators. A hamlet that grows from 12 residents to 200 would show +1,567% growth — mathematically true but not a meaningful signal about urban expansion. To keep this ranking useful, we restrict it to cities with a 2024 population estimate of at least20,000 residents. This matches the population floor used in the Census Bureau's current city-growth comparisons and prevents small denominators from dominating the answer.
