Census data show that the city of Chicago continued a trend it's followed steadily since 1950, losing nearly seven percent of its population in the last ten years.

The population according to the April 2010 census was 2,695,598, a decline of more than 200,000 people as compares to the year 2000 total of 2,896,016.

I wonder if the recently passed Illinois state income tax hike will shrink the Chicago population even more...

So, basically, Chicago is the New Detroit... Just great. Another iconic American City buckles under the weight of the failures of Socialism.
