Just curious how this stacks up to other cities.

I predict Detroit will hover around 150k

I wouldn't doubt that immigration has a HUGE roll in this.

The California Department of Finance says that 4,045,873 people live in the city of Los Angeles as of 2008. The official census won't be until 2010 of course. I couldn't find any projections for the city of Los Angeles itself, but I would estimate the city at around 4.3-5 million people maybe by 2030. That is if we don't fall into the ocean before then

The Greater Los Angeles area is expected to have a population of 21,808,471 in 2020.

Milwaukee City: 700,000 currently is 635,000
Milwaukee Metro(7 counties): 2,800,000 currently is 2.1 million.

By 2028, Omaha is projected to be at 2 million MSA, with 800,000 living there now, it will probably included Lincoln too which pushes us up to 1.15 million now.
