The latest numbers from the state of Wisconsin show both Eau Claire and Altoona are growing.
The State’s Department of Administration is out with its latest population estimates, and says Eau Claire is now Wisconsin’s 7th largest city with more than 71,000 people. Altoona is also growing, the report says they added just over a thousand people since the 2020 census. The report bases its numbers on census data, housing data, and college admissions.
