Only 4 of the top 25 fastest growing MSAs by percentage had populations over 1 million. In order of percentage gain, they are Austin, Raleigh, Orlando and Las Vegas.
All four were also the only ones that were in the top 25 by both percentage gain and numerical gain.

Was about to post the same link

I find it interesting that both Harris county and Dallas county had a negative domestic population count. I wonder how that compares to the previous years. Both were balanced out by their international migration. Especially Harris which clocked in nearly 28,000 for international migration.

Sad that Baltimore city lost population.

Actual data "available before 10 A.M on release day".

Some highlights were released though:

Maricopa County now #1 in growth, adding 81,360 to hit 4,242,997, compared to adding 77,925 last year.
Harris County down to #2, adding 56,587 to hit 4,589,928, compared to adding 90,451 last year.

Maricopa's growth was about 50% domestic migration, 30% natural increase and 20% international migration. Also #1 percentage-wise among the 10 largest counties.

Harris went from +17,000 to -16,000 in domestic migration, but added about 46,000 from natural increase and 28,000 from international migration.

Some notable losses:

Cook County (Chicago) down 21,324 to 5,203,499. This reverses all population growth since 2011.
Wayne County (Detroit) down 7,696 to 1,749,366. This decline is consistent but slowing down. Wayne started out (2010-2011) losing 28,000, and between 2014-2015 lost 11,000.

Baltimore City (Ind.) down 6,738 to 614,664. This was mostly due to a doubling of domestic out-migration.

Predictably, North Dakota counties no longer top the fastest-growing lists.

Natural Factors: 8/10 with most natural decrease in FL, 4/10 in California and 3/10 in Texas for most natural increase

Notable Milestones:
-St. Louis County drops below 1 million (domestic outmigration)
-3 counties reach 100k: Fairbanks-North Star (AK), Highlands (FL), Carver (MN)
-Pasco County (FL) reaches 500k, Tarrant County (TX/Ft. Worth) reaches 2m

Unfortunately, seems Greenville Co. must have fell just short of 500,000. Was at 491,863 with a decent growth rate in 2015


Metro Areas:
382 metro areas contain 277.1 million, up 2.3m from 2015, 86% of nation
The Villages, FL fastest growing (4.3% 2015-16)
Largest numeric gains were DFW-Arlington and Houston (still)

Both 25 fastest (%) and 25 fastest (numerical): Austin, Raleigh, Orlando, Las Vegas

Chicago metro declined between 2015-2016, only one out of top 10

All I'm getting from this press release is that the Phoenix metro is on a roll...one county gained 81k people? Jesus.

Holy. That must mean the total Houston metro growth dropped BIG TIME. 44k drop alone in one county. Houston MSA may barely have gotten over 110k ppl over the year....still a lot, but man, the oil slump has finally taken it's toll on Houston's growth.

Actually, I read:
Quote:
The Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, Texas, and Houston-The Woodlands-Sugar Land, Texas, metro areas were the two largest numeric-gaining metro areas between 2015 and 2016, increasing by more than 100,000 each.

Welp....cities are slowing down now...suburbs are speeding up. There's only but so much of the population that can afford expensive luxury apartments. Eventually the tenant pool for these apartments will dry up effectively ending booms in cities.
