Very unlikely perhaps, but never say never my friend.

Illinois started its current fiscal year last July, and it has been operating without a budget ever since. Many of the state's payments have been court ordered, but things have been a mess across the board ever since. Social services are being cut, some state universities are on the brink of closure, etc, and the battle between Governor Rauner and Speaker Madigan shows little sign of ending.

Since 2010, the Raleigh MSA has added 143,017 and the Raleigh-Durham CSA has added 204,374. Of course, this is assuming that my old school pencil and paper math is correct.

The census bureau estimates based on race for individual cities on a yearly basis. It's in the American community survey data.

People fail to realize these numbers were conducted in July. The oil bust affects will definitely show in the 2016 census for Houston.

However, it's still not as major as everyone is making it out to be.

Kudos to SF City, which hit 864,816 in 2015.

Also, the SF MSA has grown by 300,000+ since 2010 which is amazing--5 million doesnt seem that far away anymore.

By my estimations, despite their very different growth rates, Boston MSA, San Francisco/Oakland MSA, and Phoenix MSA will all be somewhere between either 4.9 million people to 5.0 million people. I agree, 5 million is no longer a concept for San Francisco/Oakland MSA by 2020, it is increasingly playing out to become a reality (same with Phoenix MSA and Boston MSA as well).

I wonder which of the 3 areas will take the 10th spot on the 2020 census. Logic says that Boston MSA will be unseated by either Phoenix MSA or San Francisco/Oakland MSA.

Also here's the Top 5 in raw population growth for CSAs.

Top 5 in Population Change July 1, 2014 - July 1, 2015:
01. Houston-The Woodlands, TX CSA: + 161,087
02. Dallas-Fort Worth, TX-OK CSA: + 148,494
03. Los Angeles-Long Beach, CA CSA: + 140,532
04. Atlanta--Athens-Clarke County--Sandy Springs, GA CSA: + 105,654
05. San Jose-San Francisco-Oakland, CA CSA: + 105,055

Atlanta basically joined the other 4 this year.

Here are the five honorable mentions;

06. Miami-Fort Lauderdale-Port St. Lucie, FL CSA: + 89,084
07. New York-Newark, NY-NJ-CT-PA CSA: + 87,252
08. Orlando-Deltona-Daytona Beach, FL CSA: + 78,289
09. Washington-Baltimore-Arlington, DC-MD-VA-WV-PA CSA: + 78,120
10. Seattle-Tacoma, WA CSA: + 73,674

I can't believe how many people CT lost. Only one county didn't lose people.

You did well to be cautious as both metro NYC London have lost population before. NYC did it in the 1970's, severely so, & London did it to an even greater degree prior to my birth when it was seriously impacted by WW2 destruction & civilian population evacuations.
I'm not sure about any period of population loss for metro Paris though but the unexpected affects of WW2 on London call to mind the unpredictability of the myriad other type of disasters out there waiting to impact huge metros that are now world beaters in growth or dynamism or importance.
A case in point; the earthquake risks to places like greater LA, the Bay Area & Seattle are disasters of a huge magnitude waiting to happen. Think in terms of the huge population loss suffered post-Katrina by greater New Orleans & you get my drift.
