Atlanta was the 33rd largest American city in 2009, according to data Tuesday from the U.S. Census Bureau. All figures in the new Census Bureau report are solely for cities, villages, and other incorporated places — and are not for metropolitan areas as a whole.
The Big Peach had an estimated population of 540,921 in 2009, compared with 537,385 in 2008.
Atlanta added 122,098 residents between 2000 and 2009 for a growth percentage of 29.2. It was the 40th largest city in 2000.
New York City, with an estimated 2009 population of 8.39 million, easily remains the largest city in America. It’s followed by Los Angeles (3.83 million), Chicago (2.85 million) and Houston (2.26 million). All hold the same ranks now as in 2000.
Results of the 2010 census, which was conducted in April, will not be released until early next year.
