Man there's a lot of these i'm kind of like hmm i have my doubts...

[KCghettoboi]

D@mn thats alot! Do you have any stats on cities that have increased in size?

[urbanguy]

^You can go here for that: http://eire.census.gov/popest/data/cities/...-EST2003-03.xls

[urbanguy]

My near future predictions Miami will over take Tulsa & Honolulu and Honolulu will take Tulsa's spot But of course it doesnt matter since the city limits are different for each city it would be nice if Honolulu expanded to atleast 100sq miles or even more but there are no incorporated places in Hawaii which is why Honolulu has what is called a CDP or Census Designated Place to define the "City" limits per say.

[PghUSA]

I'd be interested in METRO population estimates, I have tried and failed to find a reliable US Census link to updated projections on the Metro Stats, city stats can be very misleading Miami and Pittsburgh cities are only 5% of the land area of their metroplex while Jacksonville and Indianapolis are almost 50% of their metroplex, of course Jville and Indy will show more CITY population but any reasonable person will realize Metro Miami and Pittsburgh aren't 50 rungs below them.

[urbanguy]

^Well we did one not too long ago you might have to do a search in this section to find it. I created a list for cities above 800,000 or so in that particular thread and Teshadoha or whatever his username is did for all metros but i wouldnt go by the 2002 estimates that he has on it because some are going by old estimates that the us census readjusted in 2003. Confused?

[Ivory Tower]

Come on, L.A. has got to have 4 million by now.

Todays estimates are flawed bad.

[urbanguy]

Well it will more than likely be over 4,000,000 by the 2010 census and thats the one that matters! Although i wish that the census did the supposed 100% count every 5yrs instead of 10yrs hehe hopefully by 2010 Honolulu's cdp will be over 400,000 or more if they extend the city limits to atleast pearl city which is where the last of the tallest highrises end.
