If I recall correctly, you were very happy when they were sending migrants to Chicago because of the positive impact on the city’s foreign diversity. Those small numbers didn’t have a huge impact on diversity, but the numbers in your article show that there was healthy immigration. Hopefully the trend will continue. Although with Brandon Johnson at the helm, I am very nervous.

It’s amazing the stats you can make up when it concerns “Obama’s Hometown”. If you want real stats, look at the postgrad employment survey Axios did last year. Professionals can’t get here fast enough (and that was in 2022 when there was still more COVID fallout)

Chicago lost 45,000 people in 2021. Numbers for 2022 will come out later this year. With Cook County losing over 100,000 in 2022, it's almost impossible for Chicago not to have lost population.

This is based on estimates and not actual counts since there hasn't been a census count since 2020. In addition, the Census undercounted Illinois, which the bureau admits. Your source the Illinois policy, which is a right wing think tank , failed to mention that.

Are you sure about that? I just worry if Johnson were to enact some of his tax ideas(like bringing back the head tax Rahm eliminated while mayor), that it'd really slow down the flow of new jobs to Chicago. JB already did say one of Johnson's tax ideas was a bad idea(the tax on securities trading contracts, where such stock exchanges would likely relocate out of Chicago to avoid paying that tax), so maybe not every silly tax idea Johnson has considered enacting would necessarily be enacted: https://archive.ph/cmKso

Let's not forget Rahm was better at recruiting new companies to Chicago, and I don't think Lori did much(if anything at all) to attract new companies to Chicago. I know she did the Invest South/West initiative, but not sure if she did much else except for that.

Reported over the weekend that Cook and LA country are losing the most amount people in the country. No surprise at all

I remember someone else noted that LA recently enacted a tax on real estate transactions, that already was causing a slowdown in housing purchases within LA. I certainly hope Chicago doesn't end up enacting that, if such a recent law in LA is already causing a slowdown in housing sales there.

It might have undercounted, but that doesn't mean that the population still isn't shrinking...
