Today, Greene County’s population stands at about 278,000 people.
According to News-Leader, by 2020, we will have more than half of million peeps. I find this funny, because everyone saying Springfield's population slipping... So, rethink yourself (folks who don't give a damn)... visit Springfield, Missouri.
Actually, in 20 years it will be 2027
Also, i dont think they are using accurate estimations of springfields population since the last census, becuase its going up, not down. I think the 2010 census will show springfield has acctually grown, because there have been a lot of apartments added inside city limits since 2000.
