that will change over time trust me.

I mean, I understand a portion of it is on the Gulf Coast, but when I think of "coastal" states at least as it is used by the majority of CD posters, it usually refers to state on the "East" Coast (Maine down to Florida) and the "West" Coast (Washington down to the MX border).

Sounds like you answered your own question. The Gulf is a major body of water unlike a lake or a river or stream.

some words of note.
Austin, TX population is OVER estimated. using Austin's population growth and averaging it out for the past 10 years it should of only grown by 17,000 residents. not 34,000 residents. This was the same case for Atlanta a couple of years back. Census gives to generous of numbers in the estimates. not to mention how bad the economy is right now and how little people are moving.
2nd Chicago gaining population? ya right when pigs fly maybe the Census will be right on that. Only when Pigs Fly though. if anything the tax increases has acclerated people's flight out of Chicago and Crook County. Although the housing market crash and economy may just save Chicago's rear for the next 2-3 years. But still inching closer to Detroithood.
Finally its nice to see the census bring down Jacksonville a little bit. Indy is bigger than Jacksonville and its ironic the census will come up with these crazy boundries to boost other cities and bring down others.
Jacksonville isnt even half developed in its consolidated county. Indy only has parts of Franklin and Decatur Township left and that will be eaten up by 2030.
2nd curious to see what the real population of Indianapolis is and not just the *balance*.

So here's my big question ... Who cares??

So you've never noticed the hurricanes hitting Houston, the Jimmy Webb song "Galveston," the abundance of bayou culture around Beaumont, Houston's massive port complex, or the kids visiting the beaches of South Padre?

"Galveston, oh Galveston
I still hear your sea winds blowing"
