Jail populations are included in other group housing facilities including fraternities, elderly homes, convents, etc. The Census counts where you reside on January 1 (I think).

^ The above poster (welcome to OKC Talk btw) who once again implied I have something against Dallas - I don't, count me as a fan. I also have nothing against Philly, Tulsa, or any other city that anyone may come at me with. Just posting numbers, not trying to get into debates over this, as I've already stated the obvious issues with data quality on these self-reported population counts (usually by Downtown BIDs). The 1-mile increments make a lot more sense for comparing apples to apples.

If you google "downtown dallas population" you'll get 6,074. The below links all say 7,000 to 7,500. That's the number I decided against including, bc I figured it wasn't really fair or representative.

That's four sources that all say 6-8,000. I promise you anyone doing site/market analysis does not have the time to research any deeper . Time is money.
