I want to know the answer to the following question:
What was the population in 2009?
All the background I'm provided with is that "The city's population loss came to an end in the 21st century; the population estimate of July 2004 showed a population increase for the first time since 1954, and the population reached 2,234,000 by 2009.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: yes
