From the DC Office of Planning:

“The Census Bureau released new population estimates for 2025 that shows the District of Columbia gained 2,335 residents from July 2024 to July 2025. The population increase is attributed to natural increase (more births than deaths) and international migration.

The Census Bureau also revised the 2024 population estimate based on new data, lowering the previous 2024 estimate from 702,250 to 691,310. With assessed growth for 2025, this puts the District’s 2025 estimated population at 693,645. (more…)
