It’s pretty crazy how Boston and Atlanta gained basically the same amount of people from 2010-2018, despite the delta in the metro growth.
Same with the inner 61 sq miles of Boston (Cambridge, Somerville, Chelsea) grew by almost the same as DC (101,000 vs 100,000) again large difference in metro growth.
SLC gained 21 people from 2017 to 2018. However, that's within the margin of error I think, so it could easily have lost people in reality (but probably not too many). Officially though, the estimate is +21 people from 2017 to 2018.
If you told me in 2010 that Seattle would be up 22% within city limits in eight years and three months...I'd have freaked out.
We went from 7,247 per square mile to 8,880. Today, nearly a year later, we should be over 9,000. Most of the increase is in denser nodes around town where we concentrate growth. Those areas have been hitting a good critical mass lately, and the construction boom continues. This city is so much better today than it was, even with plenty of problems. I'm over the moon.
PS, I'm going to be happier still if we hit 10,000 per square mile...we'll probably slow down, but maybe in the next decade?
Miami has had a similar story. Since 2010, its density has moved from 11,137 ppl/sm to 13,128 ppl/sm in 2018. That's just 9 shy of 2000 more people per square mile.
Does Pittsburgh have a sub forum? That would be the place for this arguing.
It's called a debate, and believe it or not but those posts contribute a lot more to this thread than another vapid post with empty praise for two random sunbelt metros.

Sorry your city has a lot of issues and declined the last 70 years.
If you actually think that the city has "declined for the last 70 years" then you are completely clueless and shouldn't comment about a city that you know nothing about.

We are trying to highlight the growth areas on this thread.
It looks like you are batting 0 for 3, because this thread is actually about the following topic from the OP: 2018 city estimates predictions/discussions. It's not just about current high growth areas.
Helpful hint: Smug condescending posts tend to backfire when the poster fails to have even a basic understanding of what they are talking about.
Huntsville city population will be larger, as it is growing faster. It is interesting that Birmingham will no longer be the largest city in AL.
It will be the equivalent of saying Jacksonville is the largest city in Florida. Only on paper. Huntsville almost shamefully lacks density at 209sq mi. Any city that can annex it's way into fraudulent relevancy shouldn't get a vote IMO
To me it's more interesting that a place like Grand Rapids who's city borders cover 100sq mi less than Birmingham could surpass it in population.
