Either way, estimates are just that - estimates. We won't know for sure what the population is until 2020 - or early 2021. And it's hard to imagine it won't be over 200,000 by that time. Maybe even 210,000 if we're lucky.

The city isn't disputing the number. That was a rep from the Kem C. Gardner Institute, though their previous estimates have been higher than the U.S. Census. Kem C. Gardner estimates that the city had 195,262 in 2016 and added 2,548 people last year which would put the city at just under 198,000 in 2017, so either way we are for sure around 200,000 now.
