So with that said, we have the pre-Elkhorn annexation estimate in 2006 at 419,000
So we add the 10,000 for Elkhorn and the few neighborhoods to be annexed to reach Elkhorn to push it to 429,000 in 2006..
Then we add an annexation that includes 3,500 households last year to make it 435,500 in 2006...
Then we add this annexation that is for the 7,000 population estimate to make it 442,000 in 2006...
Now, if in fact that those annexations do not play in part of the annual census estimates which I believe it does..
Then that will probably be close to the estimate for 2008, if it does not play a factor in the annual estimate and is tacked on to the annual give/take 5,000 addition per year average, then the estimate should reflect 452,000 for 2008, and 440,000 for the 2007 estimate (the 7,000 annexation doesn't take effect until Jan 1st)
With that said, I know somebody is going to comment and ask me why do i care what other people think and that I somehow have some type of mental issue because of this, but I'm going to give a pre-emptive counter by saying that I am a numbers geek, I love Omaha, and the higher the population the better the odds of pulling in top/premier developments and that I've followed these estimates since I was very little..
New figures: Omaha to add another 7,000 by annexation
