Greenville County added more people than Dallas County, Texas during those years.

Based on the estimates today, Greenville City added a whopping 24 people last year! Estimates are estimates but something seems off there, with all the housing, apartments, and condos that are constantly going up. That can't be very accurate.

Annexations alone would have added more than that. That's a ridiculous formula they're using.

So Greenville COUNTY added 13,429 residents last year but only 24 of them were in the city of Greenville. Yeah, not buying that.

Funny thing is some people actually want this scenario to be true.

No wonder we can’t get any tower cranes downtown. We’re on the verge of losing population.

I think we all know there is no way that estimate is even close to accurate.  It's pretty obvious the city grew by more than 6 families of 4 over the course of the year. Condo and infill DT, appts all over the place, infill in any neighborhood, small annexations, etc... take your pick.
