Is Provo shrinking? Census says yes

Sadly the Census Bureau has a history of poorly estimating populations. Why they don't improve their methods is beyond me...

how do they come up with their numbers when they only take a census every 10 years? sounds like guess work to me

it's probably because people are getting sick of BYU and going to the U. woo.

Hopefully Provo shrinks to nothing...it would be great not to have those people in this great state.

This message board looks like it was a bad idea. It is just a forum for mormon haters.

...I know they're trying to be funny with their childish generalizations, but what's REALLY funny is that these ignorant people probably don't realize that there are more Mormons living in Salt Lake County than Utah County...

genius...

What did Dave mean by "those" people? I'm sure this state would be a much better place if everyone was intolerant like Dave.
