NEW YORK - New Orleans and Atlanta were among some of the most high-profile urban areas in the U.S. to gain population on Sept. 12 after the Census Bureau published correction errors, officially released in December, in the Federal Register.
The population of the New Orleans' urban area grew to 963,212 residents from 914,531. The additional 48,681 residents had been mistakenly assigned to the Laplace-Lutcher-Gramercy, La., area, which was supposed to be deleted following a merger with the New Orleans urban area.
The Atlanta urban area had its population adjusted to 5.1M residents from 4.9M. An additional 100,853 residents living in more than 37,000 homes had been mistakenly assigned to the Gainesville, Ga., area. (The AP 09/12/23)
