SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- The city of San Francisco has won its challenge of the U.S. Census Bureau's population estimate, which will allow the city to garner more state and federal funds.
Mayor Gavin Newsom had challenged the bureau's 2007 estimate which put the city's population at just more than 764,000. The new estimate increases the population by 34,209.
The mayor's office estimated that the error cost the city $77 million in lost federal and state funding for the decade.
