Kind of nuts that this article cherry picks two domestic migrators who moved to Manhattan and Spain. Based on prior years domestic out-migration data, most of the population losses are coming from North, West, and South Philly...i.e., the poorer neighborhoods experiencing social and economic issues.

While I don't know where their data comes from, the Center City District said that the population of "Greater Center City" (Girard to Tasker) has grown 4.3% since 2020.

Well if you count Tasker as the border of SP then I idunno. Thats weird.

I don’t, South Street is the border. That is their measurement for “Greater Center City”, and within those boundaries the population has continued to grow. I just thought it was relevant to the comment above.

That’s greater center city, not the city of Philadelphia. Greater center city doesn’t include west, north, and most of south Philly

Did you see the comment I was replying to?

True, although it does include south Philly to Tasker Street by CCD's definition.
