Crazy that only 153,000 people separated DFW and Miami in 2000 now it's 1.4 million and now DFW has 1.5 million more people than ATL. Miami was ahead of Houston by 300k in 2000 now it's behind by 900k. That's a 1.2 million swing. Houston more than doubled is lead on ATL from 465K to over 1 million.
Looks like DFW and Houston are outpacing ATL and Miami by a lot.
Will they still be peers at this rate?
Threw in DC because it was in the middle of the screen grabs
Population doesn't make these cities peers, it's a factor but Boston, Phoenix, and Seattle are also peers of all of these cities and their metro population is smaller than Miami's and Atlanta's. Also, on the subject of population, Dallas and Atlanta will continue to grow at solid rates because they are not as dependent on immigration compared to Houston and Miami.
There are way too many variables to predict the future of these metros, but it is a safe bet to say that they will be peers for a while.
There's lots that come with population growth.
It is not the most important metric but there's things that a big city brings that smaller ones just don't do as well.
And I never asked you to predict the future, I provided you with stats and asked to make an educated answer using those stats.
I provided 19 years of data and commented on how it looks like two are outpacing the others. Doesn't that look like the case?

You asked will these ciites continue to be peers by using population as metric right? Ok, simple answer, yes they will continue to be peers.
Also, what does Houston and Dallas bring that other cities in their peer group doesn't bring? Every city in their peer group is more urban and gives you more of a city feel.

That is due to when the city was growing.
As to your other question, they are still in the same boat now.
I dunno why the defensiveness.
You answered the question with a yes. I am not going to argue with you on the answer because I do want to know your opinion on whether you think they will continue to be peers. You say yes, and that's good that you answered, I just don't like that you followed up with a question. It's like you are making me do the work.

Houston is unsustainable. Oil collapse, flooding, low urban development, more dependent on service jobs and immigration, lack of proper zoning, etc. Despite Houston's weaknesses there is nothing indicating all three won't be peers in the future.
Dallas and Atlanta could actually one day be the most populated metros in America if sea levels continue to rise.
I pondered that many times. Many of us may not be alive to witness it if it really happens, but if sea levels keep going up the way they are now, I definitely see a population explosion in inland metros likes Dallas and Atlanta.. Houston, Miami don't have that edge.
Houston is 50-100 feet above sea level. It's about the same as San Fran. All the icecaps can melt and ask it would do is give it Beach front property. Scientist are predicting 3 get in 100 years. Give me a break.
Again this is all just doom and gloom hysterics.
Miami on the other hand is 6ft over sea level.
NY is what 30?
