Lol I just remembered that Ottawa (Which is still in Canada).
Is better than both Calgary & Austin (& the Municipality of Ottawa is bigger
than Austin too with a Simular Black Population within the city limits as well).
The City of Ottawa has since estimated it had a population of 951,727 in 2014
(Likely closer to 1 Million by now).
Austin's Black Population is shrinking between 1990-2010 from 12.4% Porportion to only 8.1%

Ottawa's on the other Hand is growing instead from: 4.9% (In 2006) to 5.7% (In 2011).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Ottawa
By now it is likely almost the same.

"Residents look to revive Austin's shrinking black community"

So Austin's Black Community is shrinking 0.2% Proportion Per Year,
& Ottawa's is growing. 0.2% Per Year.
7 Murder's for Ottawa this year, Half that of the Canadian Average & way lower than any American City that size.

Their Metro's are near the same size too, so Ottawa overall is way way safer Even Austin as safe as it is is dangerous compared to Ottawa.

So if your showing OT at 1,318,100 metro(Ottawa-Gatineau) then economic region for OT-Gat is 1,320,293 + 383,182 . The bi-provincialalty (?) of Ottawa-Gatineau is causing all kinds of fucky when looking at these numbers,since you left out Gatineau centred Outaouis, on the quebec side
So let me fix that for ya Albertans *smirk*
OG - 1,318,100 | 1,703,475 (difference: 385,375 As of July 1st 2014)

So Ottawa's Region is fast approaching 1.8 Million not that much smaller than Austin!
