Calculate Geometry only Working to 1 Decimal

I am working with an address point layer. I created two fields, Latitude and Longitude. Both are double types, and set to numeric format with 6 decimal points, 6 sig-figs, and pad with zeros. When I calculate the decimal degrees for both, they only calculate 1 decimal space, so everything is X1.100000 and -X2.100000. I made sure it is using the map's coordinate system (state plane). I cannot figure out why it is doing this. 

Has this happened to anyone else?

Hello @CamTurney_CityofCF  , in the ArcGIS Pro Options, Units > Location Units section, you can set the format for Decimal Degrees. Does that affect the number of decimal places that you see ?

My units are already in decimal degrees. I restarted and it did the same. it is a rather large dataset with over 20,000 records. Would that affect it? Also, this picture shows my results. as you can see, the formatting is correct, the calculation just won't go farther than tenths.
