Cities to watch in 2020s Austin, Portland, Atlanta, Charlotte, Raleigh, Kansas City, Las Vegas, Nashville, Milwaukee
Upcoming big players Oklahoma City, Columbus, Indianapolis, Louisville, Tulsa, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Tampa, Orlando, New Orleans, Memphis
Pretty much none of these cities will enter Top 15 discussion unless there's some dramatic decline from one of the cities in this thread. The likelihood of that happening is almost none...
A handful of these cities, including Austin, could be threatening for Top 20 status 10 years from now as Baltimore and St Louis continue to lose reputation and stature. But even those two cities aren't in free fall, they've lost ground for years and yet both are still Top 20; Detroit lost standing and struggled for years and is still a Top 15 city...
So sure, some of the cities you mentioned will overachieve but almost none of them excell to the point they are in a discussion of the Top 15 cities in the United States. Not in 2030, anyway...

You really believe Austin is even debatable Top 15?
I don't think the gap between Miami and Seattle is large at all, and you can definitely make the argument that Seattle is inches ahead of Miami...
Outside of Seattle's cooperate presence.... In what regard?
Again GDP is nice and dandy, but Miami is the American economic hub for all of Latin/South America and and a primer global international travel destination.. Seattle does throw around that type of intercontinental "weight" around yet.

I do agree... Seattle has definitely separated itself from its former peers at this point

Wouldnt Miami be 10? I feel Miami s more 'important' than Atlanta or Dallas.
Dallas and Miami are interchangeable. US has so many cities honestly, to say it's top 11 is not negative. Many categories Miami is much higher than 11. I would live in Miami over most of the "top 11".
