Geez dude, chill and stop obsessing for a day. There are answers to your questions, but so that this particular thread doesn't get derailed start another one in the Atlanta forum or research the topic.
Title of the thread has a typo, 1970 to 2009 actually. Don't know when the US Census will hurry up and release the information for us for 2010 and I am already expecting it to be a disappointment and not live up to what I thought.
When they released the numbers for the states and Washington DC, it showed that Washington DC is at 601,000 for the city (And not 608,000 like the present December, 2010 estimates suggest), but the US Census tallied last counts in April, 2010 not to December, 2010. Meaning the populations will be scaled back from most recent estimates for all the cities and metropolitan areas.

Agree, need to stay on topic.

In fact, I am wondering if there will a big change in how the Census designates Metropolitan areas. Has the change in the last 10 years warranted a complete overhaul? Do the current definitions short change only but a few Metro areas?
Bah, who am I kidding. They'll do it just keep some people on the public dole doing this work for a few more years.

You must really love ATL.
anyway ATL has slowed, but it is still increasing faster than everyone other than Houston and Dallas. It is not anywhere near Detroit.

The ARC's methods are quite different than the Census Bureau's and other sources. There is often a several hundred thousand difference in their numbers and plenty question how robust their methods are on a year by year basis.
Because of this, you are still derailing since this thread is about the numbers from the Census Bureau, not some off shoot organization that uses an entirely different method and does not count the entire MSA, but the core 10 counties.
In fact, I am wondering if there will a big change in how the Census designates Metropolitan areas. Has the change in the last 10 years warranted a complete overhaul? Do the current definitions short change only but a few Metro areas?
Bah, who am I kidding. They'll do it just keep some people on the public dole doing this work for a few more years.
they don't normally do a complete overhaul after every census, but they do slight changes. between the 2000 and 2010 census was slightly different in that they made the slight changes every year instead of every ten years.
one of the suggestions they accepted this time around was to ease up on the updates.
I don't think there will be an overhaul of the present definitions. I think a lot of people tend to like this present definition.
And the people who were short changed in the last one was ATL, Detroit and Boston (dropped from 4th place to 9th). The winners were NY, DFW and Miami. Miami jumped from 24th place to 6th place and Dallas jumped from 10th place to 5th.
periods of slow growth are an inevitable consequence of infrastructure lag. Once the infrastructure catches up, a new population boom will ensue, keep in mind, it could take as long as 50+ years for the infrastructure, to catch up enough.
