Thanks!
This work is far more rewarding with an audience.
Seeing the top 10 all positive drives home how great the results for cities were from this Census. Detroit's positive change in WPD is likely thanks to the immigration-fueled surge in Hamtramck. There are 7 tracts over 15k in Wayne County. 5 are in Hamtramck, which posted 27% growth this Census!
So the largest metro to drop in WPD is Baltimore, once again the negative exception in BosWash.
(I am presuming NYC's WPD grew, but that seems pretty safe based on the SF/Boston/Philly pattern. Indeed, I am going to guess 34k for NYC's number, almost 10% growth from 2010.)
