You also have to adjust such things for population, which was up about .6% in August vs. last August, the latest data we have.

Last report I saw said US population was set to drop this year - first time in 250 years. With our demographic boomer bubble, continually dropping fertility, and anti-immigration stance, the trend is likely to continue.

With the growth we already had in 2025 you'd have to nuke LA to end the year with a decline.

Most population growth was due to immigration for a while, and immigration (for obvious reasons in 2025) is way, way down.

Do you normally get your demographic statistics from Brookings and AEI? My reference is to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
