So, nothing west or south the freeway loop. Just three ones north of the loop (because Union Station), but leaving Chinatown out.
And I'm using City Population as source, because it's much easier to navigate on it.

That makes sense. But I think if you counted city west, it would be closer to 100k. It sounds like you left out the Arts District,
which is becoming a part of downtown for office and residential.
North of USC (south of the freeway) has probably added 5k, if not more.
Imo, USC is part of the greater downtown area, as it has the museum campus and several light rail stops.
