Between 5 million and 6 million residents give or take a few hundred thousand.
550k would still be some massive growth for the city over 10 years!
Nashville started 2000 with a population of 545,524. The 2009 "estimate" had the city at 605,000.
Low ball: 580,000
High ball: 630,000
Goof balls: 660,000
Since the census estimates for Tennessee seemed to be reasonably close to the 2010 actual figures, I think Nashville will be close to the middle of that prediction between 600-610k. I'm not expecting any huge surprises out of Tennessee.
I expect Nashville Metro to be somewhere in the range of 1.58-1.62 million.
Sidenote: Murfreesboro could be anywhere from 105-115k (looking at a 60%+ growth rate).
Cool interact map for growth in Philadelphia and sorrounding MSA counties.
I found it interesting the that South Philly (well what they consider the eastern part) is now 21% Asian. The presence is most definately felt, oddly enough in the Italian market, but I was surprised to see that today roughly 1 in 5 folks in this area (decent size) are Asian. Overall Philly posted very large gains in asian population since the last census.
Do you guys have a better/more efficient way of counting the population? If people don't participate, what is the Fed supposed to do about it?
Honestly, based on the endeavor I think overall they do a pretty good job. I would imagine that there is some estimated error (even though in theory a census); there is only so much they can do and imagine that most of this error is fairly uniform

I think they need to create an electronic means for gathering the data. They should send emails out with the in-person forms, so people can submit from a work/home computer or via mail. They could use SSN as the unique identifier (or just the last 4 of the SSN with a cross-reference of name for security purposes), so people can't submit more than one response.
