About this dataset

Context

The dataset tabulates the Seattle 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 Seattle 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 Seattle was 755,078, a 0.79% increase year-by-year from 2022. Previously, in 2022, Seattle population was 749,134, an increase of 2.37% compared to a population of 731,757 in 2021. Over the last 20 plus years, between 2000 and 2023, population of Seattle increased by 190,969. In this period, the peak population was 755,078 in the year 2023. The numbers suggest that the population has not reached its peak yet and is showing a trend of further growth. Source: U.S. Census Bureau Population Estimates Program (PEP).

Neighborhood Map Atlas neighborhoods are derived from the Seattle City Clerk's Office Geographic Indexing Atlas. These are the smallest neighborhood areas and have been supplemented with alternate names from other sources in 2020. They roll up to the district areas. The sub-neighborhood field contains the most common name and the alternate name field is a comma delimited list of all the alternate names.The original atlas is designed for subject indexing of legislation, photographs, and other documents and is an unofficial delineation of neighborhood boundaries used by the City Clerks Office. Sources for this atlas and the neighborhood names used in it include a 1980 neighborhood map produced by the Department of Community Development, Seattle Public Library indexes, a 1984-1986 Neighborhood Profiles feature series in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, numerous parks, land use and transportation planning studies, and records in the Seattle Municipal Archives. Many of the neighborhood names are traditional names whose meaning has changed over the years, and others derive from subdivision names or elementary school attendance areas.Disclaimer: The Seattle City Clerk's Office Geographic Indexing Atlas is designed for subject indexing of legislation, photographs, and other records in the City Clerk's Office and Seattle Municipal Archives according to geographic area. Neighborhoods are named and delineated in this collection of maps in order to provide consistency in the way geographic names are used in describing records of the Archives and City Clerk, thus allowing precise retrieval of records.

(SAEP) estimates are meant to provide a consistent set of small area population and housing data for statewide applications. SAEP estimates are generated by the Washington State Office of Financial Management for census areas and other areas of statewide significance.

Before using the SAEP estimates, please see the SAEP User Guide to gain a better understanding of the data and methods behind the estimates as well as limitations in their use. For more specific information about the 2020 data release, please see the User Notes and Errata document.

Please note that SAEP estimates are NOT the official state population estimates used for revenue distribution and program administration related to cities and counties. Users interested in city and county estimates should see the state's official April 1 population estimates program.
