2. What's the source for the "400,000" figure?

I don't see it in the article cited.

When I searched for that text, I found an almost identical quote, except for the decade:

https://www.newyorkalmanack.com/2021/08/new-2020-census-numbers-an-adirondacks-ny-state-analysis/

Upstate cities have been seeing growth in the past decade, reversing decades of decline. All told, New York State gained just over 400,000 people from 2000 to 2010. During that decade, New York City added over 600,000. [...]

Also,the 400,00 figure doesn't seem to fit with the rest of the 2020 results.
