Charlotte: 1,600,000 (up 350,588)
Raleigh: 1,130,000 (up 245,109) .
Kansas City: 1,610,000 (Up 80,583)
St Louis: 2,195,000 (up 44,294)

The new estimates do not recalculate the the land areas or densities. Those numbers remain as is from the 2010 estimates. Sorry for not having those estimates.
I don't put too much stock in those figures since they don't come from the Census Bureau/OMB. They seem to be very rough estimates but not sure what the basis is.

Any recent numbers are going to be estimates.

I generally like KC and STL more than Raleigh and Charlotte, but I don't dislike any of them though. The BIG thing that NC cities have going for them though is location, being able to weekend to DC, OBX and the Smokies with ease.

Right but these are rougher estimates that don't seem to be based on Census sources.
