New York City lost 3.5% in the same time period, which is way, way more people in the absolute sense. So if SF is an abyss, then NYC must be apocalyptic right now.
Also these figures are census estimates which are not accurate down to this level of precision anyways.
- AuthorizedCust 4y agoHuh? So if a town of 1000 loses 100% of its population, no biggie because NYC?
- katbyte 4y agoFor that town it sure is. But for the state/country it resides in? Not really.
- peter422 4y agoThat wouldn't be unprecedented either. But it's hard to say with a straight face that SF losing 50k people is unprecedented among major US cities when by the same measurement in the same time period NYC lost 300k.
- culi 4y agoMany small towns routinely lose more than 6.8% of their population within a year. It's not really news...
