Lots can change over time. I don’t think it is a foregone conclusion that Houston will ever pass Chicago in population. As Marothisu pointed out, all Chicago has to do is stabilize and improve a few areas of the city, and our growth would be somewhat right in line with some of the bigger growth cities. Of course, a changing of the media narrative wouldn’t hurt either.

Many thought Houston would pass Chicago with this census. How did that turn out?? Again, I would not be so fast to predict the future. Is it likely within the next 20/40 years… probably so. But then again, stranger things have happened.
