The post enumeration study from the Census implies that Illinois gained almost 250K people. However, this is still good news because it directly corresponds to millions more in funding and hard proof that all the stories of loss were bullshit. Even at +250K that's not good growth, but growth is also entirely different than , again the BS stories about how it was losing a quarter million people.
It will also help with future population estimates. It would be interesting to see how this impacts the estimates for Chicago/the area too.
