About this dataset

Context

The dataset tabulates the Chico population over the last 20 plus years. It lists the population for each year, along with the year on year change in population, as well as the change in percentage terms for each year. The dataset can be utilized to understand the population change of Chico across the last two decades. For example, using this dataset, we can identify if the population is declining or increasing. If there is a change, when the population peaked, or if it is still growing and has not reached its peak. We can also compare the trend with the overall trend of United States population over the same period of time.

Key observations

In 2023, the population of Chico was 101,301, a 0.45% decrease year-by-year from 2022. Previously, in 2022, Chico population was 101,758, an increase of 1.24% compared to a population of 100,508 in 2021. Over the last 20 plus years, between 2000 and 2023, population of Chico increased by 24,483. In this period, the peak population was 105,578 in the year 2019. The numbers suggest that the population has already reached its peak and is showing a trend of decline. Source: U.S. Census Bureau Population Estimates Program (PEP).
