Assuming the numbers since 2010 are still based off of the 790K number then it's likely our current population as of right now is closer to 960K and thats if we end up only adding 18K from July 2014 to this July. We were 4th in the nation in numerical growth from July 2013 to July 2014 with 25,667.

Funny enough Angelo Angelou had a similar figure which if I recall some on here were saying he wasn't referring to city population even though he said Austin is roughly 40k below San Jose.

Either way it's safe to say that we are somewhere between 912K and 960K given that it's just estimated numbers.
If you look at the City of Austin April 1 Census, it was 790,390, but the "Census Base" was 811,458 for April 1, 1980. Most other cities had the two numbers about the same, give or take a few. The estimate for 7/1 2010 was 816,622. Since then Austin has added roughly 25,000 every year. Somehow I think the new annexation figures were the difference between the 790,390 and the 811,458. At least it makes some kind of sense. Even Dallas or Houston were about the same for the 2010 Census and the "Census Base", so I don't think that was an estimated homeless number. Do you think that might be what happened?
