Representatives there credit increasing job opportunities and quality of life."We are seeing people coming in for renting, buying, people that are already here looking to move up in the city," said Steven Gondol, executive director with Live Baltimore.Baltimore City lost close to an estimated 2,000 residents from 2014-2015, according to the census. Those who follow city real estate, like Live Baltimore, said it isn't that bad, and they're actually seeing some promising trends."Last month, in February, all the homes sold in Baltimore City were across 137 different neighborhoods and that's encouraging for us that the gains we're making are not just limited to a few neighborhoods but too many," Gondol said.A spokesperson from the mayor's office, while acknowledging the pull back, remained optimistic in a statement released Thursday."Despite the occasional modest blips, there is no doubt that Baltimore is moving in the right direction, and we would expect that. Like in past years, as the Census Bureau refines its data, the final population number for Baltimore City will ultimately be adjusted to reflect the growth that all of us see every day," the statement said.Check here for more information on the U.S. Census Bureau Population Estimates forMaryland's Jurisdictions: 2015.
