Honestly there have been at least 20 cities above 500,000 people already released now that have "outgrown" Dallas for the last decade (which was only 9,300). Seriously, its not a very honorary or highly regarded task to do.

Seattle, Denver, Washington DC, Omaha, Kansas City, Oklahoma City, Indianapolis, Charlotte, Raleigh, Colorado Springs, Las Vegas, Portland, El Paso, Houston, Austin, San Antonio, & Fort Worth have ALL out paced Dallas in both numerical population growth and rate for the decade.

Also not to be sound like a douche or anything but for real, holding your city to a standard of "alright we outgrew Dallas!!!" is really not saying much (if anything) at all about any cities whether stagnant ones or booming ones, in my opinion.

I have absolutely no idea (nor do I want to know, seems like its going to get ugly!) what the intentions for this post were but its been about 12 pages in this thread since someone has complained about estimates or projections being off compared to real results. So I don't get what your post is based off of here?

By the way, Philadelphia had challenged the US Census like a year ago when they were displaying the population estimates to be low, and Philadelphia won the case and gained an additional 100,000 people which put them into the 1.5 Millions range. Is it possible for the official numbers to overwrite very recent challenges and report more or less (by an exceptional margin)?

While we're on the subject: California's results will be boring, I don't think there's going to be any drastic differences between their US Census Estimates from 2009 going on in to their 2010 Official US Census results.

hmmm, I thought the Challenge was in 2008. Anyway, my take is the same. a successful challenge of an estimate may only provide temporary satisfaction.

So business first is saying that DC-Baltimore CSA passed 9 million. Yeah, take it with a grain of salt.

California is coming out today....I'm not excited.

California says that the state grew by 5 Million but the Census says its 1.5 Million---that alone kills my taste for wanting to know what else they have to say(of course I'll still be pouring over it tho(LOL)).

My major interest is the continued diaspora of diversity in the Bay Area from urban areas to far flung burbs. Concurrent with that, the income levels of minorities in the area. I want to see how theyve risen.

After that, Im most interested in seeing the commuting percentages from San Joaquin into the Bay Area.

That would make their $550 Billion GDP more understandable.

Here we go with California

Data for California show that the five most populous incorporated places and their 2010 Census counts are Los Angeles, 3,792,621; San Diego, 1,307,402; San Jose, 945,942; San Francisco, 805,235; and Fresno, 494,665. Los Angeles grew by 2.6 percent since the 2000 Census. San Diego grew by 6.9 percent, San Jose grew by 5.7 percent, San Francisco grew by 3.7 percent, and Fresno grew by 15.7 percent.

The largest county is Los Angeles, with a population of 9,818,605. Its population grew by 3.1 percent since 2000. The other counties in the top five include San Diego, with a population of 3,095,313 (increase of 10.0 percent); Orange, 3,010,232 (increase of 5.8 percent); Riverside, 2,189,641 (increase of 41.7 percent); and San Bernardino, 2,035,210 (increase of 19.1 percent).

Oh LA. And San Jose for that matter. Both estimated back in 2008 maybe 2007 that they passed 4 million and 1 million respectively.

So LA grew by less than 100,000 this past decade. Great for most if not every city. But far below what the state of California and many others thought.
