Well the 2010 census figures have been released and after all is said and done, Jefferson County gained some 222 residents for a grand total of 252,273.But lets take a look a what Philip Klein has been telling us for the past few years:
Here are the facts - people are leaving Jefferson County to the tune of 120 families a month. Philip Klein 1-29-10
Since this time - the population has decreased and depending who you talk to - the population may hit less than 199k.

The Southeast Texas Political Review has learned that initial censes [sic] figures show an almost 5% decrease in population in Jefferson County Texas. Meaning? That almost 12,000 people have left Jefferson County Texas in the past 10 years.

A mere ten years ago - Jefferson County had a population of almost 23,000 more people. In the last ten years - according to census figures - the population has dropped by? Well 23,000 people including families, individuals, part time workers and high school graduates.
