File talk:ChicagoPopulation.png

Could someone explain what the line that starts in the upper left corner with a label "92" and then drops to 2 or 3 for most of this plot is supposed to show? (pref. explain this in the caption, at least here, maybe also in the Chicago article if it's interesting.)--Jaibe 21:13, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
 * oh wait, I'm guessing that's the rank in US city size? Please correct me if I'm wrong --Jaibe 21:15, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

I found an error in the chart: the data contained in the link (http://www.census.gov/population/www/documentation/twps0027.html) below the chart shows that Chicago's population peaked in 1950. this chart makes it seem like the population peaked in 1960. --ilan

Exactly. The correct number in 1950 is 3,xxx,xxx not 2,xxx,xxx. I'm removing the picture since it is inaccurate. --dannycas 00:33, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
