The cell phone carriers have an incredibly accurate count of people who actually live here. Not sure about the census but city itself is clueless - they sent me jury duty notice more than a year after I left. Had to email them a photo of my MT driver’s license to escape their clutches.

here's a perfectly good house for $89k. You could make $18k a year and still pay the mortgage. https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/2511-N-Patton-St-Philadelphia-PA-19132/10313712_zpid/

if the article in question shows a census drop isn't the burden of proof on those who dispute that number? Where is your proof that people have been moving into Strawberry Mansion and Hunting Park and yet have somehow avoided being counted?

All the demand is for a few key neighborhoods. Except for immigrants, no one is moving to the vast swathes of declining areas.
