I don't mind off-topic discussion (sometimes) but grocery store talk is too boring to forgive. Let's move along.
Anyway, very shocked by these numbers - especially the fact that Dallas actually shrunk in one year and has essentially fallen off a cliff.
Not too surprising though. Dallas tears down a lot of “older” properties to build better and new on that land. Many times they are emptying out housing that would have multiple residents to build something occupied by less residents. If a lot of land is cleared and not re-occupied by the time the census estimates take place then it shows a decline. This was very true during the recession as land sat empty while developers couldn’t secure financing for projects. Another thing taking place is that families in the very poor sections are moving out to nearby burbs.
Yikes. Did you actually read the article in the first post? It links to data showing Dallas lost 0.05% of its population between 2017 - 2018.
Go look at the Census history of Dallas. Never a loss.( well almost never. 371 people between 1850-1860)... Of course population fluctuates during the 10 year span between every census...... but those numbers are considered to be estimated not confirmed.... When the results are actually counted its always a plus.
Now we are at 1.4 million which is more than its ever been.
I bet you anything that that figure it's going to be revised down but about 120k after the census figures come in. Not that it lost that much but I think early in the decade they were overestimating by a lot.
2000-2010 I think the city increased by 10k total.
Then 2011 it suddenly starts increasing by 25k.
You don't increase by 10k a decade and all of a sudden start increasing by 20+k a year.
The metro was growing just as far between 2000-2010 as it was between 2010-2020 so going from 1000 a year to 25000 a year is exceeding suspect for a city as established as Dallas.
To my knowledge there hasn't been any annexations.
2000 census - 1,188,580
2010 census - 1,197,816
2020 estimate-1,343,573
I predict the actual number is around 1,220,000. Going from a 0.8% increase to a 12% increase without a boom or something drastic is highly suspect.

Sorry, but "never a loss" is false. Facts are facts, Dallas lost 0.05% of its population, sadly, between 2017-2018.
Now it gained those folks back in the following year (again, you'd know if you'd actually open the article in the original post) but who knows how it's going to fair in the future. Currently looks to be trending downward, unfortunately.
Sorry! We do not need NYC having 9-10 million people. Bring the city down to 6 million please.
