San Jose has seen a resurgence in population, regaining its status as the 12th largest city in the U.S. with an estimated population of 997,000. This comes after a significant decline due to the pandemic, when many residents moved away for affordability. Mayor Matt Mahan expressed optimism, noting a new energy in the city. However, the surge is linked to fluctuations in international immigration and previous losses in residents from 2018 to 2022, exacerbated by the pandemic's impact on urban living.
"It just feels like there is a new energy. We are in a horse race with Austin, and this year's results show San Jose ahead once again."
"Though it was the third most populous city in California, San Jose started to lose residents in 2018, and by 2022, dramatic pandemic drops pushed the city to the 12th spot."
