The 8,622,698 is great, but I have a suspicion its higher due to the undocumented. Even though the census factors them in, I speculate there is an error in that sector.
Just for sake of pondering, lets assume a 2% error in the figures (upwards), it would push the population to 8,795,151. Point being, even if there is a hypothetical error of 1-2%, for a city this size, it starts to add up.

I think I won the competition for predictions.
I was promised a chocolate chip cookie and a hot Latina for my winnings?
8.8 million reality versus prediction of 8,795,151.
The price is right, census edition!
While 8.8 million is great, the real population is over 9 million! Tons of illegals.

Close in the sense of the real population.
I'd imagine Corona kind of took a percent off.
