Population of Bay Area Cities In 2010 vs 2020

Recently, I saw some news that the results of the 2020 census were released. Being from the SF Bay Area, I decided to go to the census.gov website to see how the population of all the Bay Area cities (using the nine-county definition of the Bay Area) have changed from 2010 to 2020. Since I could only find population data for cities with a population of at least 5,000, the Bay Area cities with populations under 5,000 do not appear in the 2010 vs 2020 population table.

It seems that nearly all of the Bay Area cities grew in population from 2010 to 2020 (with the exception of St. Helena and Windsor), but the percent increase in population ranged from around 0.4% in Woodside to nearly 58% in Dublin.
Dublin is the fastest growing city in the SF Bay Area
