Quote:Memphis lost more than 1,600 residents and slipped three spots on the list of the nation's largest cities during the 12 months ending last July 1, census estimates released Thursday show.

The city's population fell from 658,508 to 656,861, according to the estimates. The new figure dropped Memphis from the 20th- to 23rd-most populous city in the U.S.

The estimates further show that the city's reign as the largest municipality in Tennessee is likely to end soon. Nashville, which has been gaining about 10,000 residents annually, grew to 644,014 and is poised to overtake Memphis, possibly this year.

And that's with a 9th county being added.

I applaud olive branch for taking a stand against this invasion by these warts on the rectums of society!
Get OUT! WHILE THERE'S STILL TIME!

That's a lie as no counties were added to the metro area...

Moreover, 1600 people is nothing when you're talking hundreds of thousands of people.

Last addition to the metro area was Forrest City in 2012.

Quote:Yet this county of 8,700 people is now considered metropolitan — or more specifically, part of the Memphis Metropolitan Statistical Area. Benton became the metro area's ninth county when the federal Office of Management and Budget on Feb. 28 issued a report updating the boundaries of MSAs across the nation based on 2010 census data.
