Revitalizing Neighborhoods: Atlanta's Castleberry Hill

My favorite is probably the New Orleans warehouse district.  It's about as compact and walkable as can be and well integrated into the urban core surrounding it.

many up and coming urban neighberhoods in Atlanta...which is why its so puzzling that the 2010 Census still showed the city losing population

Atlanta DID gain population, from 416,474 in 2000 to 420,003 in the 2010 census.  The prior decade saw a pretty substantial gain from 394,017 to 416,474. 

thanks for the correction...I guess I was comparing it with mid-Census estimates that showed the city had grown to nearly 500,000 residents.

Most people believed the estimates were too high but there is NO WAY the city only added 3,529 residents in the last 10 years.  I've seen a statistical analysis that suggests a severe under count. 

There were more than 3,529 apartments units built in the West Midtown area alone in the last 10 years, to say nothing of the rest of the city or the thousands of condos built in that time frame.  I mention apartments because we know that apartment occupancy in the city is very healthy, as evidenced by the number of new projects coming out of the ground.

I've read that the city is challenging the numbers but I don't think the Census is as agreeable with decennial census numbers as they are when cities challenge the estimates.
