Estimates show Madison up, Milwaukee down
The early story of 21st century Wisconsin can be told as a tale of two cities.
Milwaukee's population is shrinking.
Madison's is growing.
That's what the numbers say, numbers delivered today by the U.S. Census Bureau, which released yet another batch of population estimates that detail the rich tapestry and ever-changing nature of the state and country.
Milwaukee's population slipped to 578,887 in 2005, while Madison's increased to 221,551, the bureau estimates.
