The total number of people in Judah was 76,500, which shows how God had blessed and grown the tribe, just as He promised in Genesis 28:14.

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Numbers 26:22
About two thousand more than they were ; whereas the foregoing tribes were all diminished, this tribe was now increased, and the blessing promised to that tribe above the rest, , doth herein begin to show itself.
Cambridge Bible on Numbers 26:22
5–51. The twelve secular tribes are numbered, the sacred tribe of Levi being omitted. The names are based upon Genesis 46:8-27, but with the addition of Ephraim and Manasseh, who, having been born in Egypt, could not be reckoned in Gen. among those who went down into Egypt. The total number at the first census, thirty-eight years before (ch. 1) was 603,550; now it Isaiah 601,730. The order of the tribes is the same, except that Manasseh (Numbers 26:29-34) precedes Ephraim (Numbers 26:35-37). Reuben, Simeon, Gad, Ephraim and Naphtali have decreased in numbers, while the other seven have increased. The impossibility of the figures is shewn in note on Numbers 1:46.
