New York City-8,463, 710
Los Angeles-4,023,080
Chicago-2,849,114
Houston-2,400,210
Phoenix-1,574,924
Philadelphia-1,449,935
Dallas-1,310,,579
San Antonio-1,300,480
San Diego-1,289329
San Jose-1,006,892

I will be back with the other half later

San Antonio today has 1,351,000 so by 2010 probably 1,425,000, close to surpassing Philadephia proper.

So you think Phoenix will add only 7000 people from July 2008-2010?

I can see New York at 8,400,000-8,500,000, probably closer to 8,500,000.

Chicago's going to gain. If you've seen the city the North Side, Loop, and Near South Side have really done great this past decade. I'd say 2,900,000-3,000,000

I'm glad to see Houston is at least trying to reverse their sprawl but I hate how they annexed so much. I'd say 2,300,000-2,400,000. Somewhere in the middle is where its probably going to fall.

You were close to the census estimate. They had 8.7 for 2020 and 9.1 for 2030.

I like how you show so much contempt for Phoenix sprawl yet you have no issue with New York bleeding into Philadelphia.

God damn sunbelt! Get off my lawn!
