Largest gainers:
1) Loop: +10,649 people
2) Near West Side: +9111
3) Near North Side: +8086
4) Near South Side: +4143
5) Chicago Lawn: +2170
6) Morgan Park: +1987
7) Woodlawn: +1864
8) West Town: +1738
9) Irving Park: +1637
10) O'Hare: +1570


Biggest losers:
1) Englewood: -5735 people
2) Auburn Gresham: -5390
3) West Pullman: -4485
4) West Englewood: -4436
5) South Chicago: -3886
6) Chatham: -3530
7) Roseland: -3379
8) Uptown: -2278
9) Greater Grand Crossing: -1990
10) New City: -1984

If you added all of these together, the net would be something like +4000 to +5000 people.

I bet you Uptown and West Pullman will be net positive for the full decade.
