"Daytime" population shifts
Posted: Sat Oct 21, 2017 3:03 pm
Just for fun census study...
I noticed that City-Data has a line item on it's city stat pages that references the daytime population net gains/losses due to work commuters.
I'm using the 2014 pop estimates for the rankers of "official estimates" first, and then using the net gain/loss for daytime populations.
