Raw data and spreadsheets available on ISU’s website. Doom and gloom for about everyone outside of the Des Moines metro area from the Register and Quad-City Times. Ankeny passed 50,000 and West Des Moines is within 1000 people of kicking down both Ames and Council Bluffs to become the seventh-largest city in Iowa. Tama County’s three largest towns lost a combined number in the dozens while the others remained about flat.
Additional note: If Utah continues to gain approximately 45,600 people per year, while Iowa gains an average of 14,500, it is conceivable that the Beehive State could be on par with the Hawkeye State around 2019.
