the decreasing population over the past 20 years is 100% the result of decreasing HH size.
the # of HH's has actually increased since 2000, but families with a lot of young children continue to be replaced by singles, DINKs, and families with fewer children.
chicago HH's 2000: 1,061,928
chicago HH's 2020: 1,142,275
chicago HH size 2000: 2.67
chicago HH size 2020: 2.36
