I'll put an end to this argument. You can only use data from 2010 and 2020 as the census is done every 10 years. The years in between are all estimates.
Monroe County and the Rochester metropolitan area both lost population over the past decade, according to data released Tuesday by the U.S. Census Bureau.The Rochester metropolitan area, which includes the city, Monroe County, and several neighboring counties, fell 1.1 percent to 1,067,486 in 2020 from 1,079,671 in 2010, according to census figures.
Similarly, the 2020 count marks the first time the metropolitan area population fell. It had grown every year between 1900 and 2010.
Rural counties, such as Genesee, Orleans, Wayne, and Livingston, all lost population between 2010 and 2020. The only county in Rochester’s metro to gain population was Ontario, which rose 2 percent to 110,091.
