Well I believe Arizona's population was overstated by around 285,000 between the latest estimate and the actual numbers from the census. That's the biggest of any state.
I'd say if it was 1,321,045 and they were thinking 1,638,283, it's probably going to come in around 1,492,552.
By MSA:
- Chicago MSA: 9,461,105
+362,789 from 2000
By CSA:
- Chicago CSA: 9,686,021
+373,766 from 2000
Why did I think it was closer to 10 Million now?
Ya know, I seriously think the Census Bureau needs to be taken to task either for their irresponsible estimates in the interim, or for their gross undercounting!
I knew it, the 300K estimated gain was way too high
Well honestly given the economic downturn and real esate issues in the area the growth did seem very high; that being said if a prosperous economy would have led to higher growths everywhere, including Pheonix and it becoming the 5th largest city, overall it would have been better for all of us in this country.
Were the estimates too high all along or was there a downtown in recent years with the real estate bubble - not sure if anyone knows

you should be happy, they predicted that Phoenix passed Philly about 5 years ago, but it doesn't look like it will for another 10 years. You can gloat into your retirement age
Heck, the numbers for Phoenix now may be lower than April 1st 2010
So are Florida, Georgia and New York the the last remaining most anticipated releases? Will somebody please get me off that terrible rep number?! Thanks. Thank you everyone.

There is something that is clearly a miss.
There is something worrisome about this. Maybe they need to find a new method to count now.
