I guess we'll see in 2030.

Seems to me, the census is quite aggressively lowering the household sizes for most cities.
So if a city didn’t badger the Census Bureau to correct the housing this year, it resulted in a population loss.
Ironically, they gave most of the losses in the Chicago area to the suburbs, because the city figures are on the verge of not computing even by census standards.
