Two questionable entries on this list for me are Burke and Annandale, Virgina. Both are CDP's in booming Fairfax County a Washington, DC, suburb. Among the least affected of all places in the country in this recession because of government spending. I'm at a complete loss to explain their presence on this list. The only explanation I can come up with is that the boundaries of the CDPs for Burke and Annandale have been reconfigured to include a smaller population, but I have not been able to confirm this. I almost suspect a data error on the part of the Proximity One source.
"Fairfax, Virginia’s largest and wealthiest county grew by just over 110,000 people from 2000-2010, to pass 1 million people." -- http://burke.patch.com/articles/fairfax-county-grayer-and-more-diverse-3

Why are you pilfering my quiz idea? Having just done the cities that added the most people, it's logical I would be doing the cities that lost the most people. I was about to come out with this quiz myself and had the numbers all ready to go. You even copied my name, description and format. I'd appreciate if you'd do the right thing and remove your quiz.
