How to read these numbers
- Census counts (2000, 2010, 2020) are the official headcounts taken every 10 years.
- Population estimates are the Census Bureau’s yearly figures for July 1. Each new release revises the earlier years.
- American Community Survey five-year figures are averages from a rolling survey, with margins of error. They are best for comparing places, not for tracking one year.
- The city’s business page cites more than 150,000 people in season, when part-time residents return; Census figures count people where they usually live.
