LA is not the only geographic beast in California! Sacramento(which is the only CSA in CA that is two-state) goes clear up into Nevada. I find that to be very cool actually. LOL
Yes, I agree. Similar to the LA CSA, a great deal of the land total of the Sacramento CSA is completely rural, mountainous, open land which would distort density calculations. Also, It should be noted that less the 47,000 people in Neveda are part of the SAC CSA.
Population gain 8,546. Haha not much but its the first census period since 1950 where Philadelphia has had an + increase in population.
Census: Philadelphia grew, slightly | Philadelphia Inquirer | 03/09/2011 (http://www.philly.com/philly/news/20110309_The_population_of_Philadelphia_grew_ever_ so_slightly.html?cmpid=41144277 - broken link)
Honestly this is good news, my fears were the city would show a decrease and just a little gain is some good PR and a little shot in the arm. I will be very interested to see the growth in the core as there are areas that lost a lot of population over the last decade - Good news in my Opinion
I think this re-affirms that somewhere in the mid 2000s the tend reversed and seems to have maintained steam

well congrats on the gain.
we were both off by .02M
The official numbers were still lower than the 2010, 2009, 2008 and 2007 estimates for the city, which confirms my belief that the 2008 challenge was overkill

yeah well; reagrdless is still good in my book and Philly isnt going to grow at any astromical rates; but positive movement is a good thing for the city

I agree, this is really good news. Any ideas on what parts of the city gained the most? I would assume CC grew significantly. I'm curious to see the detailed numbers, and for the metro too.

guess we will see on the MSA
The PA county that did impress me was Montgomery County with almost 800,000 residents. That's very impressive.
