July 2022 population estimates for cities (Birmingham, Montgomery: 2015, living in, ranking)

[RocketDawg]

Here's another link referencing the next MSA update. This is a couple years old, and the recommendation to change a core city from 50K to 100K did not pass muster, it still shows June 2023 as the next update based on 2020 census data (hope it's not a duplicate link that's already been posted):

https://www.regulations.gov/document/OMB-2021-0001-0001

The issue will be actually finding the information once it's released.

The person I reached out to responded yesterday with no answer, but a link to a massive read on the subject.

Here's what he attached and, if I'm reading this correctly, it seems true that the updated delineations/realignments will be updated next month, June of 2023.

Hi Nick,

You can find the update schedule in Section D of OMB's 2020 Standards for Delineating Core Based Statistical Areas.

https://www.federalregister.gov/docu...tistical-areas


Scroll down to D. OMB's Decisions Regarding Changes to the 2010 Standards for Delineating Metropolitan and Micropolitan Statistical Areas



Once you get there scroll a bit more and you'll see a little table that says the next "Decennial Delineation" is in June of 2023.

As described in the final 2020 standards in Section E, OMB will release three different types of updates. (1) Annual Updates—These updates would address qualification of new metropolitan and micropolitan statistical areas and typically would affect a small number of counties. (In some years, there may be no updates warranted by the data.) (2) Five-Year (“mid-decade”) Update—This broader update would include: Qualification of metropolitan and micropolitan statistical areas, qualification of outlying counties, merging of adjacent metropolitan or micropolitan statistical areas, qualification of principal cities, categorization of metropolitan and micropolitan statistical areas, qualification of metropolitan divisions, qualification of combined statistical areas, and titling of metropolitan and micropolitan statistical areas, metropolitan divisions, and combined statistical areas. (3) Decennial Delineation—The initial re-delineation following adoption of revised standards would include all of the changes listed for the five-year update, plus the qualification of central counties.

There's only 2 days left in June. Has anything been released yet? If there has been, I can't find it.

How in the world did you ever find that other thread?

[smithgn]

InlandWave- thanks for that. I’ll monitor there as well.

I reached out to the owner or whoever it is that runs this website (link below) about when we will hear about any changes and he responded: “ Not yet released. Any time. Date uncertain.”

So no one knows. Hell, at this point I don’t even think the census bureau knows lol

Damn the government really blue balling today huh

[smithgn]

Y’all reckon they just forgot? Lol

Kidding, of course.

If anyone reading this wants the link I posted above but was removed feel free to message me. I didn’t know it was a competitor site although it has some good census stuff.

Looks like no change in the metropolitan areas if I read it right.

Yes, but the CSA greatly expanded. Back to Huntsville/Decatur/Albertville along with Lincoln TN.
