Considering the rapid growth in housing convertions, I was surprised to have seen a decline in the downtown area (tract 32 @ (minus) -12.2%).
If I recall correctly, Townsend Towers and the other fixed income housing tower adjacent to it both closed prior to this census but would have been open and had a fair number of occupants during the previous census. I think the majority of the decrease can be attributed to that fact alone.

Harrison and Townsend were empty during this census.
Exactly. Those two buildings were likely still at 60% occupancy or higher in 2000. With the limited number of residential units in downtown proper - even with the new apartments that have been added in recent years - those numbers make sense.
Many states that posted big population gains in the 2010 census are now seeing their decade-long growth fizzle, hurt by a prolonged economic slump that is stretching into larger portions of the South and West. Whether this will continue when the economy recovers remains to be seen. In any event, many people are leaving Florida and population growth has slowed. We have also noticed that the competiveness gap for business is closing with other states, esp. education, cost of living.
Considering the transition of the CNY economy and recent modest population growth, CNY should be in a good position to take advantage of this trend.
