Again, YOU are lying. That is not what that article says. That article says that Chicago has a population of 2.853 million within the city. It also states that Chicago's population should increase to 3.1 million by 2010.
No, YOU are lying. PAGE 76! Argue with PACE bus system!
Why are you using articles that say the exact opposite of what you are trying to prove?

That's fascinating. Thanks for the link. I wonder where Pace gets its data from. When I looked at the US Census Breau website, it gives a 2006 estimate of population for Chicago as 2.83 million.
That's pretty remarkable growth. From 2.7 to 2.83 million in one year! If you extrapolate this growth rate to today (2009), that means there's about 3.1 million residents in Chicago. Now I know these rates can't be extrapolated infinitely into the future, so probably growth has slowed and there's only 3 million or so in Chicago in 2009. Of course, we'll have to wait till next year when the census does an actual enumeration to know for certain.
Why are you guys arguing with someone who obviously wants nothing more than to rile things up? He doesn't care if he's wrong, and no arguing is going to change his mind.
Because it's not actually depopulating. The population is more or less stable now. The census actually recorded a 20K increase from '07 to '08.
False. The Census does not record intercensal numbers.
They only make estimates based on American Community Survey sampling.
Only the decennial numbers are official Census numbers.
