Columbia’s population has grown in the last decade, but not as quickly as other large cities in South Carolina.

The federal government on Thursday released initial 2020 U.S. Census numbers, and they showed Columbia with a population of 136,632. That’s a 5.7% gain over 2010, when the capital city’s population was 129,272

Columbia was once South Carolina’s most populous city, but that title now resides with Charleston. The 2020 census data indicates 150,227 people live in Charleston. That’s up 25.1% from 2010.

🚨🚨In case you missed it!

The U.S. Census Bureau has completed data processing for the first 2020 Census results — state population counts used to apportion the seats in the U.S. House of Representatives among the 50 states. The Census Bureau held a virtual news conference to release these results. The results will include population totals for the nation and the states as well as the congressional apportionment totals for each state.

Apportionment is the process of distributing the 435 memberships, or seats, in the U.S. House of Representatives among the 50 states based on the apportionment population counts from the 2020 Census. The apportionment population consists of the resident population of the 50 states, plus the overseas military and federal civilian employees and their dependents living with them who could be allocated to a home state.

Data for smaller cities and towns will be released at a later date.
