Ranking · Growth 2020–2024

Fastest-growing U.S. cities (2020–2024).

Top 500 U.S. cities ranked by percent population growth from the April 2020 Census base to the July 2024 estimate — all within Census Vintage 2024. Restricted to cities with at least 5,000 residents in the 2020 base so a hamlet growing from 12 to 200 residents doesn't top the list on percentage alone.

Methodology · the 2019/2020 vintage seam

Within-vintage growth only.

Growth on this page is shown only as 2020 base → 2024 estimate, both drawn from Census Vintage 2024 of the Population Estimates Program. We do not compute or publish a 2010 → 2024 growth number.

Why not? The 2010–2019 series (Vintage 2019) extrapolated forward from the 2010 decennial census, while Vintage 2024 re-based its 2020 starting point to the 2020 decennial census. These are independent estimates from two different methodology generations. Combining them would mislabel a methodology shift as real population change — not a growth number you can act on. New York City alone shows a +403,489 delta between its V2019 pop_2019 and its V2024 pop_2020 that is largely census re-basing, not migration or births.

Methodology · the 5,000-resident floor

Why we exclude cities under 5,000 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 2020 base population of at least 5,000 residents. This threshold matches the one used in the pre-computed national rank field (national_rank_growth_2020_2024_pct) in the dataset.

The full CSV download at /data/city-population-csv/ contains all 19,479 cities including those below the floor, so you can apply your own threshold. Full methodology →
