"District" losing population

This needs a citation or some sort of clarfication of what a district is. Does this include only downtown and near-downtown districts in Texas? Only districts in cities? Only districts in major cities? I'm sure I could find many towns and probably a few counties that experienced a decline in population during the 1980s. Also, the information from the Midtown website ([2]) does not appear to be correct. Houston's population increased over 2 % between 1980 and 1990. ([3] [4]). In addition, the houstonmidtown.com source does not make a claim about Midtown specifically (even as vaguely worded as the paragraph is), but "the area that includes Midtown." This could mean part of the 4th ward, 3rd ward, or any number of things. I do not know if the current definitions of superneighborhoods[5] are applicable to this time period. I will add a(nother) source if I can find one. Ufwuct 01:48, 17 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A management district is a special type of incorporated entity that can tax, but it is independent of the municipal structure. WhisperToMe (talk) 07:36, 6 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Note about block book maps

While Harris County has block book maps of various places, there aren't any for Midtown per se as Midtown didn't exist at the time.

A part of Eastern Midtown and a bit of the Third Ward were a part of the James S. Holman Survey. See the index map here: http://books.tax.hctx.net/v019/AE1997_19-20_0001.jpg and http://books.tax.hctx.net/BlockBooksPDF/v019/AE1997_19-20_0001.PDF

Baldwin Park is page 28, and San Jacinto School is Page 51
