The thing with Houston is that they've compiled the proof needed to challenge the US Census (which they declared they are in June) that the city has way more people than the estimates had it as. Houston's will most probably gain a good amount and bring it closer to its 2009 estimates which were at 2.25 Million rather than 2.1 Million.
I think most city propers will be undercounted compared to 2009 estimates. Its more than a general trend, its a very likely cause of which will probably happen.
As for Omaha, it showed exceptional gains (in my opinion) from the last decade. My inner feeling tells me its going to be the the leading city for the Great Plains for this coming decade, its practically poised to do so thus far. Breaking 900,000 is a milestone, and by next decade given the trends it will probably be even more so stronger.
This decade will show the renaissance of Great Plains, you're right : Omaha will be the leader I think.But Oklahoma City is a good rival, it did well too during this recession.I can see a good potential about Sioux Falls, strong growth there :
I don't love it when people say their city is the Xth largest in the country, but in reality, the metro area is quite a bit smaller. It's deceptive. I see this the most from posters from: San Diego, Columbus, and San Antonio.
I don't see this as deceptive. It just depends on what they are talking about. For example, when I am talking about a city, I'm talking about a municipality. If I am referring to an MSA or CSA it's entirely different. As long as I clarify what I'm talking about, there's nothing deceptive about it. Each definition is a legitimate category, depending on what you are trying to measure.

I'm looking forward to tomorrow's results (with North Carolina & Delaware), and thank gosh they're releasing it tomorrow instead of Thursday (ideally today would have been better ).
I can add up all of the Philadelphia MSA & CSA tomorrow itself minus the 6 counties in Pennsylvania, so we'll have a good idea of where Philadelphia will be. And I'm generally always interested in North Carolina anything, great state with probably great numbers to show forth tomorrow (I hope).
Philadelphia MSA & CSA counties in New Jersey (already released), Delaware (will be tomorrow), & Maryland (already released) include the following counties:
- Cecil County, MD
- Salem County, NJ
- Camden County, NJ
- Burlington County, NJ
- Gloucester County, NJ
- Cumberland County, NJ
- New Castle County, DE
Yeah, we're pretty much set for this week to wrap up with Kansas coming out and Kansas City's MSA & CSA being completed officially.
By the way, I was a little surprised to see Omaha at 408,000. This number is well below the latest estimate of 454,000. Seems to be a trend. I wonder if the 2010 Census just missed on a lot of these cities or if the estimates were high in the last decade.
Either way, it's still a decade of growth for the city. Similar to Kansas City, where it still grew, but not nearly as much as 2009 estimates suggested.

Here's another one just for kicks so far. Tomorrow when the release Delaware and I add in New Castle County, DE which was 500,000 (exactly) in 2000 and projected to be 534,000, it would push Philadelphia's CSA above 2 Million without the inclusion of Pennsylvania. Pretty sweet so far.
Philadelphia CSA (Without PA & DE):
- Cecil County, MD: 101,108
- Salem County, NJ: 66,083
- Camden County, NJ: 513,657
- Burlington County, NJ: 448,734
- Gloucester County, NJ: 288,288
- Cumberland County, NJ: 156,898
- New Castle County, DE: We'll find out tomorrow Total:1,574,768
Like wise I am going to figure out New York so far too.
New York CSA (Without NY, PA, & CT):
- Bergen County, NJ: 905,116
- Hudson County, NJ: 634,266
- Passaic County, NJ: 501,226
- Middlesex County, NJ: 809,858
- Monmouth County, NJ: 630,380
- Ocean County, NJ: 576,567
- Somerset County, NJ: 323,444
- Essex County, NJ: 783,969
- Union County, NJ: 536,499
- Morris County, NJ: 492,2764
- Sussex County, NJ: 149,265
- Hunterdon County, NJ: 128,349
- Mercer County, NJ: 366,513 Total:6,837,728
LOL HAHA, get a load of this. New York's CSA information is only from one of the states released so far (NJ) and 3 of the states still aren't out to configure its CSA population yet (NY, PA, & CT) which still carry the majority (all 3 combined) of its population and New York's CSA so far (with what's already out) is larger than Dallas/Fort Worth & Houston CSA's already, and those are all completed and amongst the Top 8 largest CSA's in the country. LOL!
I can't wait for NC numbers especially Fayeteville, where I grew up. The city has seen so much since BRAC and I hoping that has helped it. I hope the metro passed the 400,000 mark
