Census 2010: Urban Jacksonville In Decline

[BackinJax05]

Up until now, I never knew Murray Hill was once an incorporated city. Thanks for posting.

As for the arguements here about urban vs. suburban living, it seems many of the 1st & 2nd generation suburbs (can you say Arlington?) are in the same decline as the urban core.

Yes, the first ring suburbs are in a similar decline.  In 20 years or so, if current trends continue, popular areas of the Southside could see a similar decline, as newer burbs spring up in St. Johns and Clay.

^^ Baymeadows is already a 'hood. Guess Mandarin is next.

one thing to account for is family sizes i live in a 3br 2 story home that at one time was home to 6 people and now only 2 live here

^True. A decrease in average family size is a part of the reason for the loss in density.
