As someone who splits time between Miami and Raleigh, and as a demographics geek, I watch the annual estimates quite closely. In doing so, I am also pretty familiar with the cities that are adjacent to Miami and Raleigh in the estimates. FWIW, Raleigh and Miami are right next to each other in the municipal rankings. This means that I have been looking at cities like Virginia Beach, Colorado Springs, Long Beach, and Omaha. Omaha in particular has had me scratching my head all decade because their population growth/estimates have been bouncing around all over the place, and I can't figure out why. Does anyone know what's going on there? The 2010 Census put its population around 409K people. A 2016 adjustment to that 2010 Census put the city at 432K, and then a 2017 adjustment put it higher at 449K. Then, in 2016, the Census estimated the city's population to be 447K: lower than the 2017 adjustment of the 2010 Census. Now, all of a sudden, the 2017 estimate for Omaha jumps to 467K, WTH? There's no way the city grew 20,000 people unless it annexed a bunch of land, but I can't find anything out about it online.
Is Omaha fighting/petitioning the Census? Is the city annexing land? What's going on here? Does anyone know?

We'll never know until the official 2020 census data is released. The figures were way off prior to the 2010
census. Different figures come from different sources. The most optimistic ones usually come from places like the local Chamber of Commerce.

The census beauru are always at a disconnect when it comes to the census tracks and where the numbers should be applied.

To be honest, I blame the Omaha side more. Its our job to help them make that determination. And as a previous poster said, we wont know until 2020 what the number will be.. chances are that itll be wrong lol..

The good news is that urban Omaha's booming population is now surpassing suburban Omahas.

This is a big part of it. Within the time frame mentioned in the OP, the City of Omaha annexed Elkhorn. Several small SIDs were also annexed.
