How is this ranking made?

One figure is read for each of the incorporated places with 20,000 or more residents in 2020: the population change, April 2020 to July 2025. The Census Bureau publishes these estimates without a margin of error, so every place in the set is ranked. Equal published figures share a rank. A ranking measures one number; it is not a judgment of a place.

Across the 100 places shown, the population change, April 2020 to July 2025 runs from +18.8% (Cedar City, UT) to +78.9% (Forney, TX); the middle place on the list stands at +26.9%.
