I've looked at the census tract estimates for Pittsburgh, and they're ludicrously off from reality. Like showing 10%-15% declines in the student neighborhoods, no growth in a neighborhood which has added 1,000+ apartment units, and population gains in blighted black neighborhoods.
Basically anything below the municipal level in terms of estimates is shit.
