Some observations in my neck of the woods:

Wichita, Kansas has surpassed 400,000 for the first time. It now has a population of 400,991.

Aurora, Colorado has surpassed 400,000 and now has a population of 403,130.

Garden City is the largest city in western Kansas, but only by a few hundred. Garden City has 27,996 and Dodge City has 27,663.

Celina, Texas has dropped from No. 1 in annual growth among cities 20K or larger in 2024 to No. 4 this year. No. 1 is neighboring Princeton, which had to call a 120-day development moratorium last year because they didn't have their shit together.

Dang, Baltimore supposedly grew for the first time in a while.

Same with Milwaukee. Younger people moving into trendy neighborhoods, along with some retirees returning to an urban environment, outpaces those who are leaving.
