Population from 2008 Here: List of United States cities by population - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

My prediction: 2010

New York City-8,463, 710
Los Angeles-4,023,080
Chicago-2,849,114
Houston-2,400,210
Phoenix-1,574,924
Philadelphia-1,449,935
Dallas-1,310,,579
San Antonio-1,300,480
San Diego-1,289329
San Jose-1,006,892

I will be back with the other half later

San Antonio today has 1,351,000 so by 2010 probably 1,425,000, close to surpassing Philadephia proper.

So you think Phoenix will add only 7000 people from July 2008-2010?

Below are your 2010 Census Estimates

I can see New York at 8,400,000-8,500,000, probably closer to 8,500,000.

L.A will probably just be over 4,000,000. I wouldnt even be suprised if it was a loss :O. Did I just say that?

Chicago's going to gain. If you've seen the city the North Side, Loop, and Near South Side have really done great this past decade. I'd say 2,900,000-3,000,000

I'm glad to see Houston is at least trying to reverse their sprawl but I hate how they annexed so much. I'd say 2,300,000-2,400,000. Somewhere in the middle is where its probably going to fall.

if Philly combines with NYC the city population will gain. That won't be until at least 2020. Now I say 1,300-1,400,000

2. L.A 4,100,000
3. Chicago 3,050,000
4. Houston 2,400,000-2,500,000
5. Sprawl Capital of the World 1,700,000

Are you all forgetting about the massive growth/sprawl in Atlanta? Hello? That sprawl is almost to Charlotte...

You were close to the census estimate. They had 8.7 for 2020 and 9.1 for 2030.

Actually Charlotte is only about 240 miles from ATL, but no it's not sprawling that far LOL.

well I actually expect st. louis city and st. louis county to merge in some way so I'll throw St. Louis in the top ten sometime in the next decade.

I like how you show so much contempt for Phoenix sprawl yet you have no issue with New York bleeding into Philadelphia.

God damn sunbelt! Get off my lawn!
