I would doubt any "recession" effects would be reflected in 2008 numbers.

Why? The recession started in December 2007.

Great article the south continues to grow. Numbers may not rise or decline a little this year, but overall those numbers are encouraging.

What I think Atlanta should be celebrating is Fulton County has passed the 1 million mark.

Yes! that's kind of cool benchmark. I mean, it's purely psychological but it's still exciting!

Close...

1. New York City Metro (19 million)

3. Chicago Metro (9.5)
4. Dallas Metro (6.3)
5. Philadelphia Metro (5.8)

United States metropolitan area - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kind of crazy that San Francisco doesn't make the top ten.

But this is even crazier. By 2030, the top 10 (with population) is projected to be:

1. New York City Metro (19 million)
2. Los Angeles Metro (13 million)
3. Chicago Metro (10.7)
4. Dallas Metro (9.7)
5. Atlanta Metro (8.89 million)
6. Houston Metro (8.86)
7. Pheonix Metro (7.6)
8. Washington D.C. (6.4)
9. Riverside, CA Metro (6.4)
10. Miami Metro (6.1)
