I remember in the last Census, Rahm went heavily for a recount but the Census wouldn't let him. The city had stated that there were entire swaths of land where the census takers didn't really go to much and were very undercounted. From what I understand, the state this time around invested a bit more into making sure they counted everyone. The media is still playing up the losing population part which is expected. But the part about how the Census estimated a quarter million person loss but its only 18k for the state? Nope. Thats actually a crazy difference and to be off for. Not sure if the city will have lost population but if it gained population, well I'm sure the headlines will still be how it lags every other city or something
This is shaping up to be interesting perhaps. Maybe It'll teach people as well to take population estimates with a grain of salt at times.
