We're being bombarded with questions about the changes in population in Bay Area cities today. To help answer some of those questions we're releasing some data tables of the city level population changes -- in particular, the changes in population amongst different ethnicities. These tables are available to download in Excel format or as a PDF.

The following table lays out the changes in population counts - the number of people gained or lost in each city by ethnicity. The county gained 57,227 persons in the 10 years between 2000 and 2010, with a loss of 23,982 Black/African-American persons and an increase of 93,200 Asians. The city of Oakland lost 32,989 Blacks and gained 9,912 Whites, while Fremont lost 26,648 Whites and gained 33,167 Asians. Hayward saw an increase of 10,880 Hispanics.
