Is that your opinion, or did you get that from a official capacity?
From what I'm reading and personally observing is that it appears Philly is pushing 1.6 million at a steady pace.

Not at all inconsistent with what I said. And no, it's not an opinion. The city is slowly and steadily growing as a whole. Some Center City neighborhoods are seeing much stronger growth. But recent census estimates and lots of articles say outer neighborhoods are shrinking and population declining. As a whole, it works out to net growth for the city, but some neighborhoods are shrinking. Will look for article to post. Here is one:
