In 2013, the United States Census Bureau folded the CSA into the redefined London micropolitan area, and Knox County was added to the statistical area. This incidentally ended a statistical anomaly that excluded the 20% of the population of Corbin living in Knox County from the statistical area.
As of 2019, the London micropolitan area had a population of 128,215.
The total population of the London, KY µSA changed from 126,565 in 2010 to 128,215 in 2018, a change of 1,650 (1.3%).
