Fort Wham? I kinda like it!!! One thing to note. County inclusions might have played a role in some of those "current growth" rates.

Well Raleigh is growing faster than every city before it and behind it (sans Austin) but there are too many metros all close to each other in population to make that jump in just 10 years. Austin manages to do it but that's because it's expected to grow by 575K which is higher than larger metros like Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia, Detroit, Minneapolis.

Miami and SF Bay Area are the biggest surprises, they have sped up since the last decade. Las Vegas is the wildcard, as the economy recovers, I wonder what it means for Vegas real estate and tourism. Time will tell.

So Orlando would pass Tampa. That would be odd.

It passed Tampa in 2010 but they are growing almost equally so they will have the same relationship DC/Miami/Atlanta, Houston/Dallas, Austin/San Antonio, Denver/San Diego, and Phoenix/Seattle have.

I suspect that Raleigh's may be higher. It usually outstrips projected growth rates. That said, I don't think it's significantly off....maybe 150,000, maybe less?

We find out in June '13 which counties will be added or removed.

There wont be many surprises, if any. Barnstable maybe seems ready for inclusion into Greater Boston, Walworth into Chicagoland, Las Cruces into El Paso, Dutchess into NYC MSA, San Joaquin into SF Bay Area. Those are the obvious ones.

Would you even watch MLB? There's a whole bunch of people who think its a dying sport.

I always assumed that MLB fans in NC would be very strongly into the Braves, Nationals, and Orioles.

I thought Phoenix was growing like gangbusters (still, according to the projections), yet Seattle eclipses it by 2020 and its population is nearly stable?
