[QUOTE=Lowell;436386]688,701 with about 10K loss or about 1.5% loss year over year gives the appearance of slowing losses. 2013 - 2014 figures might surprise us by showing population loss as flat, fueled by an improving economy and city image.[/QUOTE]
That's the way I see it. The ones that can afford to leave have already left. Most that remain are stuck.
Regarding the sprawl debate, I see it this way. Sprawl is about construction, not population. If one new house is built in a formerly agricultural or rural area, sprawl exists.
