I'm also a little surprised at this too. St. Louis's city population has been on a slow decline for decades, while Tampa's city population has been on a steady increase for decades. The real big surprise is that Tampa is now the second largest metro in all of Florida, and in the top 15 for the United States. Florida, Texas, California, Georgia, and North Carolina are all experiencing TREMENDOUS growth, while the rest of the United States is stagnant or growing slowly.
The Tampa Bay Area has been the second largest metro area in the state since the 1950s, when the area's population boom started.
