400,000? In 2007 or 2008, but I believe the estimate was somewhere around 2.4 million. That's 200,000 in two or three years.

Nope, according to the census bureau, the most recent estimate for Houston is 2,242,193.

Maybe your right. How about 2.3 or 2.4 million then? I thought we had reached the 2.4 million mark a few years ago for some reason.

It's hard to say. With this economy people have been staying put all over the country, so it's hard to see anything drastic changing with city population figures. 2.3 sounds a little more realistic though.

The Texas cities are still growing quite a bit though. I don't know how many people will be moving to Houston vs the suburbs but I guess we'll find out when the census numbers are released.

If I am going to leave the county, it will be by plane or boat to somewhere else. :-P

I stand corrected. I just looked up the data, and Ciudad Juarez has become much larger than I believed. I was still thinking it was smaller than El Paso, when now it is DOUBLE the size of El Paso, 750k v 1400k. With 2.2 million people, these two cities may be the second largest bi-national metropolitan area in the world - after San Diego/Tijuana.

Wouldn't Detroit/Windsor be larger though? I think it would.

I think it is sad that no one from chicago can tell what the population will be.
i think if lucky we will hit 3 mil. i think this is going to be a hard census to guess for all cities because this has been a weird decade. Between hurricane katrina displacing all those people across the country and the house market it is guess for me lol.
