That’s not the same as, for example, the greater downtown area of Chicago, which is a better reflection of growth in a strictly dense, urban environment.

Do you have numbers to back up the claim that "the greater downtown area of Chicago" is seeing more growth than suburban / exurban Chicago?
Even just focusing on the Chicago loop, since 2000, the population has only grown by 17,198 per the latest estimaes (while "metro" Chicago has increased by 90,000, as someone stated before).
