No. Off by a factor of 10.
2000 Census - 484,674
1990 census - 496,938
2004 estimate - 462,269.
So over 34,000 decline in the last 14 years.
I did not post that very well. The data that I cut and pasted was in a table form with a column of numbers for NO and another column for LA. I erased all of the LA numbers except for the gross population. Sorry, it sure looks like I said NO,LA was the 10x number.
