Chicago is still losing population

The metro area fell below 9.5 million for the first time since 2010. The nation's two biggest cities, New York and Los Angeles, also slipped last year.
 
The Chicago area’s population declined for the fourth year in a row in 2018, according to the latest Census Bureau estimates.

There were 22,000 fewer residents in the 14-county metro area than in 2017, a drop of 0.2 percent, and the first time since 2010 that the area's population has slipped below 9.5 million people. Cook County, which accounts for 55 percent of the population in the metro area, lost 24,000 residents. DuPage and Lake counties, the second- and third-largest, respectively, each lost about 2,000 residents. The exurbs of Will, Kane and Kendall counties saw modest growth of fewer than 2,000 residents each.

Many are landing in North Texas: just observe all the Chicago fans when the Bears, Cubs, White Sox, or Bulls play a team in Dallas.

Not too mention the increase in Chicago team apparel being worn by fans here in North Texas.

That's nothing compared to the sea of red when the Red Wings come down here.

A steady trickle doesn't make that much of a difference.
Quite a way to go yet before they get to the level of Detroit...
