Source detail for this table

Values in this table inherit the source agency, native geography, transformation, and caveats below.

Source detail: 2025 population

2025 population

Source agency: U.S. Census Bureau, Population Division
Dataset: Census PEP
Vintage / period: Vintage 2025 (Jul 1, 2025)
Native geography: Census PEP subcounty place records for the included city universe.
Transformation: Copied from POPESTIMATE2025, joined by Census GEOID, and used for ranks, filters, and city pages.

Known limit: Annual estimate, not a decennial count; each new PEP vintage can revise the prior series.

Methodology Original source

Source detail: 2020 Census base population

2020 Census base population

Source agency: U.S. Census Bureau, Population Division
Dataset: Census PEP
Vintage / period: Vintage 2025 (Jul 1, 2025)
Native geography: Census PEP subcounty place records for the included city universe.
Transformation: Copied from the Vintage 2025 April 1, 2020 base and joined by Census GEOID.

Known limit: This is the PEP base for the 2020s estimate series; do not mix it with older PEP vintages as if they were one continuous methodology.

Methodology Original source

Source detail: Population change

Population change

Source agency: U.S. Census Bureau, Population Division
Dataset: Census PEP
Vintage / period: Vintage 2025 (Jul 1, 2025)
Native geography: Census PEP subcounty place records, using values inside the same Vintage 2025 release.
Transformation: Computed as a displayed-year estimate minus the comparison-year estimate from the same vintage, then ranked or filtered as needed.

Known limit: Annual estimates can be revised with each vintage; this is not a decennial count or net-migration table.

Methodology Original source

Source detail: Population rank

Population rank

Source agency: U.S. Census Bureau, Population Division
Dataset: Census PEP
Vintage / period: Vintage 2025 (Jul 1, 2025)
Native geography: Included Census place/consolidated-city universe after the site inclusion rules are applied.
Transformation: Ranks are computed from the site CSV with standard competition ranking, so ties share a rank and the next rank is skipped.

Known limit: Ranks are only within this city/place universe, not all counties, CDPs, metros, or total U.S. population.

Methodology Original source

Find a town, township or Census place

Look up an official community name. Separate Census geographies can overlap, so their populations should not be added together.

Enter a name in the city filter above. Matching towns and other Census geographies appear here even when a city also matches.

Community matches appear after you enter a name.

Methodology · Washington population ranking

Washington cities ranked by Census Vintage 2025 estimates.

Washington ranking uses Census Vintage 2025 Population Estimates Program data as of July 1, 2025. Ranks are state-scoped, using standard competition ranking ("1224"): tied cities share the lower rank and the next rank is skipped. Growth shown is 2020 base → 2025 — within-vintage; no 2010→2025 figures appear here per methodology §6.

This ranking includes incorporated places and consolidated governments in our city dataset, with Washington, D.C. and Urban Honolulu as named special cases. Census-designated places and county subdivisions are separate geographies.

City rankings cover our incorporated-place and consolidated-government population dataset, with Washington, D.C. and Urban Honolulu as named special cases. They do not count every community.Use the community lookup on this page to find Census places and county subdivisions separately. Its survey estimates describe 2020–2024 and are not part of these city rankings.
