Is it safe to start calling Urbana, "East Champaign" yet?  Or is that just too cruel?  ;-)

I assume that numbers for Savoy, Ogden, etc. are available, but they weren't in Tom's blog post, so I didn't copy-n-paste them, and I'm too busy to go looking for them.

Perhaps we could rename Chamaign, 'North Savoy.'?   Seriously, How about a county Metro government?

Hmm, I thought that Savoy would have grown more than that.  I expected that Champaign would see strong growth, and that Urbana would see weak growth.  I was more surprised to see that St. Joseph and Mahomet, bedroom communities of Champaign / East Champaign, were the winners in terms of percentage gained,
