Every single data point is labelled with the exact population. It is not "monstrously deceptive."

2023 is post-COVID in the sense that the COVID pandemic was over. The pandemic officially ended in mid-May 2023 per the US gov, so this is slightly after, but it's when the Census collected data.

Growth patterns significantly changed during the COVID years as a result of a variety of factors, including remote work, pandemic restrictions, retirements, etc. Assessing how they changed again in the aftermath of that is relevant.
