I notice CED and The City's own growth forecasting department tend to be very conservative with their estimates. Probably understandable when you think the city added only 6000 people in 2010. Whether 30,000 plus a year is the new norm, or an anomaly, is anyone's guess.
With over 40,000 now, Calgary has to be one of the more populous downtown/inner city areas amongst Canadian and US metros. I would bet top 15, if not top 10. That's pretty impressive. For comparison, the central neighborhoods of Minneapolis cover over 3 sq mi and have less than 30,000.
