The U.S. Census Bureau released its long-awaited 2020 redistricting data Thursday, giving an up-to-date count on America's population, voting-age population and racial demographics at the local level.

The release shows that Tallapoosa and Coosa counties both declined in population from the 2010 census, following a nationwide trend in population decline for counties with fewer than 50,000 residents. Just over half of U.S. counties declined in population since 2010, despite an overall gain in population driven by growth in metro areas.
