Some of those cities in the Northeast got screwed. If it goes anywhere within a mile close to projections & estimates then New York Metropolitan Area was supposed to gain between 750,000 to 1 Million on its own.

Look at this: Resident Population Data - 2010 Census

The entire Northeast only gained 1.72 Million people. I think when the numbers for the Northeastern states (NY, PA, NJ, MA, CT, etc) come out, A LOT of people there will be disappointment with their cities. Some of those cities seem like they got screwed for how much they were supposed to gain compared to how much the Northeast actually did gain, especially because almost half of their gains came from the New York Metropolitan Area itself. Meaning Boston, Philadelphia, Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Atlantic City, & any other place is going to be looking extremely low compared to the estimates and projections.

Georgia hasn't released their information yet, but we'll know in a few weeks though. Apparently Arizona the entire state got 200,000 less than their 2009 estimates meaning Phoenix must look like one scary situation right now, and the gap between it and Philadelphia wasn't particularly wide enough for it to have a Chicago, Houston, & Dallas result in city proper to maintain the lead over Philadelphia as the 5th largest city.

I have no opinion on Phoenix ranking higher than Philadelphia in size, but I am really interested in seeing Phoenix's numbers, throughout this recession it was the poster child for this recession & the sunbelt boom experienced last decade. It will show the severity of what happened in this recession for the faster growing areas.

wow, the NE increased by les than 2M while the South increased by 14M and a third of the number for the South is attributed to Texas.

also the Midwest increased by a higher number and percentage than the NE. wow.

For the same reason as Phoenix, I am interested in Las Vegas.
Those two had astronomical predictions for a while.

anyway, I am very relieved that Houston metro was right on target.

Our official MSA is over 130K larger than the 2009 estimate. That is a less than 10 month span from estimate to Census collection data.
This makes be really happy

It's interesting though, the large cities are all pretty diverse.
The Houston Chronicle has the breakdown.

here goes the data sheets, the user interface is a bit confusing.


American FactFinder



then choose Population Groups, and ignore the pop-up.

It's better than the alternative, to let them fall between the cracks or refuse them education.
If skills were really desired, then we wouldn't have to be importing the unskilled in ever larger numbers. We can educate Americans but it's cheap labor that is wanted.

Look at the country they just left - that's where this state is headed. Growth for growth's sake didn't benefit Mexico and the extreme birth rates and very young teen pregnancy rates will accomplish the same for Texas as they have for Mexico.

More free lunches and breakfasts, more welfare checks, more free health care, fewer taxpayers. We're importing Mexico's style of poverty.

At some point in the near future, they will have to tax the taxpayers at incredible rates to support all this imported poverty with it's own culture and language.

Thought I ask you about it since you know where to get the information for the counties since you got Dallas/Fort Worth's.

And I gave you the answer. The Houston Chronicle. They have a link from the article that posted Houston's demographics.

Its kinda odd seeing the breakdown of these cities like that.
I always thought of Dallas as being whiter than Houston and that list shows that Dallas has the smallest white population out of the big five with Austin coming in first then Fort Worth then Houston, SA and then Dallas. Heck Houston has more Asians than Dallas has white people. And wow, Austin has more Asians than SA
