About this dataset

Context

The dataset tabulates the Minneapolis 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 Minneapolis 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 Minneapolis was 425,115, a 0.74% increase year-by-year from 2022. Previously, in 2022, Minneapolis population was 422,003, a decline of 1.36% compared to a population of 427,806 in 2021. Over the last 20 plus years, between 2000 and 2023, population of Minneapolis increased by 42,427. In this period, the peak population was 430,710 in the year 2020. 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).

Margin of Error

Data in the dataset are based on the estimates and are subject to sampling variability and thus a margin of error. Neilsberg Research recommends using caution when presening these estimates in your research.

In 2022, the Minneapolis–Saint Paul metro area real gross domestic product (GDP) amounted to ***** billion U.S. dollars. This is a large increase from the real GDP value in 2001 which came to ****** billion U.S. dollars.

Minneapolis–Saint Paul is the most populous urban area in the state of Minnesota, United States, and is composed of *** cities and townships. Built around the Mississippi, Minnesota and St. Croix rivers, the area is also nicknamed the Twin Cities for its *** largest cities, Minneapolis and Saint Paul, the former the larger and the latter the state capital. It is a classic example of twin cities in geography.

The area is part of a larger U.S. Census division named Minneapolis-St. Paul-Bloomington, MN-WI, the country's ****-largest metropolitan area composed of ** counties in Minnesota and *** counties in Wisconsin. This larger area in turn is enveloped in the U.S. Census combined statistical area called Minneapolis-St. Paul-St. Cloud, MN-WI with an estimated population of **** million people in 2022, ranked the **** most populous in the U.S.

This dataset consists of housing unit, household, and population estimates for census tracts, census block groups, Transportation Analysis Zones (TAZs), school districts, and ZIP codes in the Twin Cities Region. These data provide a more precise and timely picture of current conditions than the American Community Survey, another source of small area data that is better suited for statistics like percentages and averages than for actual counts. It may be possible to calculate estimates for other small areas upon request; contact Research@metc.state.mn.us for more information.

In 2023, the metropolitan area of New York-Newark-Jersey City had the biggest population in the United States. Based on annual estimates from the census, the metropolitan area had around 19.5 million inhabitants, which was a slight decrease from the previous year. The Los Angeles and Chicago metro areas rounded out the top three. What is a metropolitan statistical area? In general, a metropolitan statistical area (MSA) is a core urbanized area with a population of at least 50,000 inhabitants – the smallest MSA is Carson City, with an estimated population of nearly 56,000. The urban area is made bigger by adjacent communities that are socially and economically linked to the center. MSAs are particularly helpful in tracking demographic change over time in large communities and allow officials to see where the largest pockets of inhabitants are in the country. How many MSAs are in the United States? There were 421 metropolitan statistical areas across the U.S. as of July 2021. The largest city in each MSA is designated the principal city and will be the first name in the title. An additional two cities can be added to the title, and these will be listed in population order based on the most recent census. So, in the example of New York-Newark-Jersey City, New York has the highest population, while Jersey City has the lowest. The U.S. Census Bureau conducts an official population count every ten years, and the new count is expected to be announced by the end of 2030.

Sources: MN State Demographic Center and the Metropolitan Council. Released August 2020. The Minnesota State Demographic Center (our office) and the Metropolitan Council jointly produce population and household estimates for all years between the U.S. Census Bureau's decennial (10-year) counts. The Met Council produces the estimates for the seven counties of Anoka, Carver, Dakota, Hennepin, Ramsey, Scott, and Washington, as well as all cities and townships within those counties. Our office produces the estimates for the other 80 Minnesota counties outside of the 7-county metro, as well as all cities and townships within those counties. Notes: New estimates are released annually in late July for the prior year. All data are dated to April 1. Persons per household is calculated by dividing the household population by the number of occupied households in any given geography. The household population does not equal the total population because some residents live in "group quarters" settings (such as college dormitories, nursing facilities, shelters, treatment centers, religious orders, military barracks, or correctional facilities), and thus are not living in households. Cities that cross county boundaries are segmented by each county's portion (labeled "part"), as well as appearing in total under "Multi-County City" in the "COUNTY NAME" column.

In 2023, the population of the San Francisco-Oakland-Berkeley metropolitan area in the United States was about 4.57 million people. This is a slight decrease from the previous year, when the population was about 4.58 million people.

In 2021, the population of the San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara metropolitan area in the United States was about 1.95 million people. This was a slight decrease from the previous year, when the population was about 1.97 people.

This data set provides address state and country, plus ZIP code for only addresses in the seven county metro area of the Twin Cities of Minnesota. The data set also includes state and/or country of birth, primary language, and indicates the need for an interpreter for verbal communications for each case participant. Case Participants include the custodian parent (parent or caretaker who the child resides with), non-custodial parent (the parent who may have an obligation to pay child support), and each child under age 22. This data set does not include children in open cases who are over the age of 22. For most U.S. States, the emancipation age does not exceed the age of 22. Children are no longer active in child support cases once they are emancipated. The emancipation age differs for each U.S. State.

As of the year 2024, the population of the capital city of India, Delhi was over ** million people. This was a 2.63 percent growth from last year. The historical trends show that the population doubled between 1990 and 2010. The UN estimated that the population was expected to reach around ** million by 2030. Reasons for population growth   As per the Delhi Economic Survey, migration added over *** thousand people to Delhi’s population in 2022. The estimates showed relative stability in natural population growth for a long time before the pandemic. The numbers suggest a sharp decrease in birth rates from 2020 onwards and a corresponding increase in death rates in 2021 due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The net natural addition or the remaining growth is attributed to migration. These estimates are based on trends published by the Civil Registration System. National Capital Region (NCR) Usually, population estimates for Delhi represent the urban agglomeration of Delhi, which includes Delhi and some of its adjacent suburban areas. The National Capital Region or NCR is one of the largest urban agglomerations in the world. It is an example of inter-state regional planning and development, centred around the National Capital Territory of Delhi, and covering certain districts of neighbouring states Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, and Rajasthan. Noida, Gurugram, and Ghaziabad are some of the key cities of NCR. Over the past decade, NCR has emerged as a key economic centre in India.
