New data from the U.S. Census Bureau puts the Richmond population at 223,170 people as of July 2016. This is an increase of over 1% from last year, and up almost 19,000 from the 2010 count of 204,214.
The city’s population peaked at just over 249,000 in 1970, fell to a low under 190,000 sometime in the mid-1990s, and began to gain traction again in the mid-2000s. It was only in 2014 that the population of the East End began to rise again after falling since at least 1990.

Of course it is, the public has found out that I live here!!!
Traffic has become worse.
Indeed. We need to make like a hockey goalie and get the puck outta here!!!
Its a city there is suppose to be traffic. 223,000 is an anemic population in a place with the land area of Richmond. You keep Richmond empty people are unbelievable. We need to get the population over 300,000.
Where is all the additional revenue going?
Potholes
streetlights out
flies mosquitos horrible in Church Hill.
No city raises for the individuals that deserve.
For such a small city, it is unbelievable how poorly managed this place is.
