It’s that time of the year, my favorite time- 2018 metro/CSA population estimates coming in less than 3 weeks!
Ah yes. Arguably, my favorite time of the year is coming in less than 3 weeks on March 22nd.. What will the new 2018 US Census population estimates be for the Omaha CSA and MSA?.. In review, Omaha’s 2017 MSA estimate clocked in at 933,316 with the CSA 2017 estimate at 970,023.. Omaha is closing in o...

Re: Omaha among the worst cities at keeping citizens, attracting people from other major metros
Out of the 100 largest metro areas, Omaha ranks toward the bottom (83rd) in the rate of movement between metro areas So, if I read this correctly, any gains from the 101+ largest metros, or another country would not count ? More OWH nonsense ? I can't see the article yet because of paywall, but it'...
