Let me first say I'm sorry if this has already been posted. I've only just been able to start reading/anslyzing. Showtime is replaying it and I happened on the scene where Coop (sort of Coop) drives into Odessa, where the sign reads, "Welcome to Odessa, population 99,940. I looked it up, and Wikipedua has that exact number for Odessa's census in 2010.

Hmmm...two schools on this. Other posters say "research" provides 2008 as the Odessa population close to that number.
Odessa doppelgänger?
I believe many city population signs are based on the decennial (every ten years) census. So, 2010 is likely the pop on the Odessa sign today.

US census' are conducted per above, and the Wikipedia information will most likely reflect US census data. Individual state and local municipalities can change their signage any old time they want, for any reason. I would like to find those "old" threads on the 2008 date (just made last night) to recall the logic people were using for that year.
Ah, I'm originally a small town boy and we only changed the sign every ten years.
Hehe. We don't usually post population numbers on our signs. We like to keep 'em guessing.
Like the Fireman right? Pop. ???????
I joined explicitly to point out that the sign is irrelevant.
most small towns go by the most recent census for signage. (2010 census)
essentially: The sign still says the same number (as of march 2016 per Google Street View, for instance.)
