Citytistics projections to 2030: each figure's own trend, blended with the typical trend across the places we rate, eased toward long-run US growth and carried forward from the latest release. The range is where 80% of places landed when we tested the same method on past releases.

| Population | 3,815 (2025) | 3,790 | 3,630 to 3,950 | −0.1% |
