I'm curious about Michigan (to see the extent of the decline), Arizona (arizona law effect + recession) and Florida (winner of the decade after Texas with 2 seats, impatient to see the hispanic growth in South Florida (already 64% in 2000)

Also I just found out (after hearing about it and looking it up to reconfirm) that the US Census Bureau did another analysis of most places back in August & September and will be releasing the differences in population there. So for the cities that saw an excessive population loss that seems unimaginable (Chicago) it's not the end of the world, they're still doing an ongoing analysis of all the cities. What that means is that the US Census Bureau went back to check every detail that they got people recorded in and stuff.
The information for that will be released midway through 2012 though. Also another thing, the cities that lost population (to either estimates or for the entire decade), the common denominator is that the population losses for those cities were recorded in low income areas where the US Census Bureau as one city's government describes "skipped over every resident in apartment blocks".

So, DANNYY, by your own assesement, which cities do you see that will realistically receive a gain in population?

In other words, between now and then, Cities need to raise hell.
I spoke to people today who recieved the questionnaire, sent it in on time, and then recieved a letter saying the census bureau never received it so they sent a second one, and then got another letter saying a census taker was going to visit but then never showed up.

Depressing results in Ohio so far w/ the old industrial towns like Akron, Toledo, Cleveland, and Dayton continuing to take a hit. The I-70 corridor has almost caught Cleveland. Looking at the 1970 rust belt high point vs. 2010 MSA, using the 2010 MSA county definition to create a more apples to apples comparison (as Columbus, Indy, and KC have all swallowed up more counties since then):
Cleveland 2.32 million down to 2.08 million
Kansas City 1.41 million up to 2.04 million
Columbus 1.17 million up to 1.84 million
Indy 1.15 million up to 1.76 million
It seems inevitable that KC will pass Cleveland by 2020, and if the next ten years look like the last ten, then Columbus and Indianapolis will too. If things hold, in 2020:
KC 2.29 million
Columbus 2.09 million
Indy 2.02 million
Cleveland 2.01 million
A shocker! Philadelphia grew for the first time since 1950 to 1,520,000! Way to go Mayor Nutter, you were right!
No way could Philly continue to lose population while rest of the NEC just continues to explode in growth...its only up from here NEC is very crowded.....
Ahhhhhhh The Poor Burgh - just way to many elderly folks birth and migration cant fully offset it yet....oh well maybe next 10yrs will be different
