As I said in the census thread, I'd say most of the population losses actually occurred outside of the metro area. There will probably be losses in the south and west sides, but with how undercounted the census estimates were I doubt that'll be too much of an issue for the city. Probably still a modest increase though. I'd find it hard to believe if Rockford, Peoria, Danville, and the far south of the state don't lose some population.
