Chicago population question...
Hi again!
So, I was looking at the US Censu Bureau website and I was wondering why they show the population beeing 6% higher in 2000 than 2006? Is the Chicago population on a decline?

Those Stats are all BS.
We know in reality ther is at least 6 million in the city alone and about another 5 in the burbs.
All in all, the metro area is about 12 million now and you can tell that too.
Look at all the traffic in the whole area also.

Ummmm, no. There is not 6 million in the city, maybe 3 million at best. Metro Chicago is almost 9 million.  |

Although I think 6 million is crazy, I think 3.5-4 mil is not for the city. The Metro area might actually be around 10-11 million. There are many illegals that do not get counted. |
