Why is the April 2020 estimates base different from a census count?
The PEP estimates base here is 18,704 residents on April 1, 2020. It incorporates the Census Bureau’s corrections and geographic revisions and serves as the starting point for this annual series. It is not labeled an original 2020 census count. The chart starts at July 1, 2020, so its five-year change uses two July observations. Read about measurement types.

The April 2020 census count (18,710) and the Vintage 2025 April 2020 base (18,704) differ by 6. The gap comes from boundary changes and the Census Bureau’s revised 2020 base, not population change, so measure growth within one series. Source and download
Growth and density
Between July 1, 2020 and July 1, 2025, Lynn Haven gained 3,821 residents, a 20.48% increase. The annualized change over these five elapsed years was +3.80%. Annualized change is a summary of the interval; it does not imply that the population changed at that rate in every year.
