2020 Census had Chicago at: 2,746,352
2020 Census correction had Illinois under-counted by 250,000. Let's say 50% of this is in Chicago (likely more due to who was under-counted), so we add 125k.
2020 UPDATED Census has Chicago at roughly: 2,871,352
Add 30,000 Ukrainian refugees to the area. Let's just assume 25k are in Chicago.
Post-Ukrainian War refugees Chicago population: 2,896,352
Now we add in the 25,000 Venezuelan refugees to the area. Let's say 20k are in Chicago.
Current Chicago population: 2,916,352.
This doesn't include the upwardly mobile professionals the discussion started with, but gives a rough view. Could we hit 3 million by 2030?
