Re: [Mpls] Minneapolis population

[Erik Larson]

Victoria H wrote about the "decline" in Mpls population using the 1950 peak 
as a baseline.  I was surprised that nobody pointed out a few of the 
problems with her presentation.

First, the children in those families grew up and moved out of mom & dad's 
place, leaving the household at a smaller size.

Second, the city has recently seen a reversal and increase in population as 
the last 3 decennial census figures reveal:
1980:  370951
1990:  368383
2000:  382618
