[quote]WASHINGTON, D.C. (7News) — The District’s population has exceeded 700,000 residents for the first time in five years, according to new U.S. Census Bureau data.

On Thursday, officials released new data showing that from July 2023 to July 2024, the city gained approximately 15,000 residents, bringing its population to 702,250.

This marks the District’s largest annual growth rate in nearly a decade, at 2%.

“People from across the nation and the world are choosing Washington, D.C. because of our vibrant communities, world-class schools, dynamic job market, and rich cultural opportunities,” said Mayor Muriel Bowser. “D.C. is a strong, well-run city, and people want to be here. We’re happy about that.”[/quote]
