FYI...
The entire Louisville CSA (IN & KY sides) has grow by 76,106 since 2000
The entire Lexington CSA (which is really messed up - see below) has grown by 55, 444 since 2000
I don't know why the Lexington CSA includes Rockcastle, Bath, & Menifee counties, but does not include Garrard & Boyle.
The Cincinnati & Dayton Metro areas combined (an area w/ 3 million people) ONLY gained 109,238 since 2000 - and that was after Hamilton County mysteriously went from losing 30,000 people to only losing 3,000.
Louisville (KY side only) +57,334
Lexington +38,847
Northern KY +33,826
Bowling Green +11,835
Hopkinsville +9,364
Owensboro +2,229
Henderson +241 Ashland -357
Ouch! Unfortunately, this is actually an improvement from the 1980s and 1990s. By 2010, I expect that Ashland's population will level off at around 20,500-21,000 and then either grow very slowly (something like 1% over the next decade) or remain stable (i.e., stagnant). It really is a nice town, but its air quality is not good and it only has a couple of major employers. The proposed riverfront park will be a nice improvement, but Ashland really needs more well paying, high-tech jobs.
