Tulare gains 1,685 residents in a day after population estimate changed
Oops! Tulare population number comes in low
City officials in Tulare were puzzled by the estimate from the California Department of Finance that the city had a population of 55,690 as Jan. 1, 2008.
If that were true, that’d be an increase of only 45 people from the same date a year earlier.
City Manager Darrell Pyle knew that couldn’t be right. Tulare has been growing neighborhoods.
Well, it seems there’d been a miscommunication between the city and the state, Pyle said. The city made a phone call to Sacramento and gave updated information to the Department of Finance.
The next day, the state came out with a new estimate showing Tulare at 57,375 population.
That’s an increase of 1,730 people, or 3.1%, in one year. That's more in line with other cities in the county.

Hey, here you are again Lew! I guess the word "Tulare" caught my eye and I clicked on you again.
That is interesting about Tulare. Seems like there are more people than even 57,---. More like 100,000, but I guess they don't count past some streets. Good thing cows don't count. (unless that brings in more tax revenue).
