Cincinnati's 2015 was 298,550 would love break 300,000 this year. It'll be close.
Cincinnati is up 1605 this decade through 2015. It's nearly that much away from 300,000. What fundamentals have changed to hope for 300,000 in 2016? Has there been an acceleration of people moving back into the city? Has the births/death equation tipped more toward more births?
It would seem to me as older citizens and die off and young people move into their homes that, eventually, a birth spike would happen. If young people are definitely moving back into core cities, this should an acceleration in population gain should become evident in many legacy American cities that had previously seen population decline or stagnation.

Uhhh, it's just a guess. I don't have any fundamentals other than there's a lot going on here. Tons of new developments and infill and after decades of loss we're growing again, so it's exciting. I think everyone familiar with the area knows that there's a real sense of change around here (See post 3 in this thread). But yes, there's also a good chance we'll be at 299,000 or 298,700. We'll see.
