Nashville and Austin will eclipse Columbus by 2020 at current growth rates. I don't see Columbus ever booming again like these cities are right now, especially their metro areas.
Um, no. Even at current growth rates, the Nashville metro wouldn't even catch up until sometime in the 2030s. And what happens from this point is anything but certain.
For the city rate, at the current growth pace, Nashville would never catch up, at least not in the next century.
Columbus is currently at or near its all time growth rate, both for the city and metro. It doesn't have to grow 30% a decade to be doing well.

Um yes. Columbus is not growing nearly as fast as these cities (metro). They also have way better skylines.
Nashville is certainly growing faster than Columbus...but Columbus is not in any real danger of giving up its position in the rankings.
If rates stay the same, Nashville is at least two decades from taking over Columbus.
Shakeesha, Columbus may not be one of the big boomtowns, but unlike much of the Midwest, it is growing at a healthy rate. Both Columbus and Indianapolis will stay ahead of Nashville (at present growth) longer than Cleveland or Cincinnati will.

Columbus' skyline is hardly spectacular, but overall, it's better than the other two. I think Austin has some potential, but Nashville's isn't very attractive overall. That might change over time too, but we'll see.

Do the numbers. You are simply incorrect on the 2020 date. I'm not disputing that the Nashville metro is growing faster right now, but it's still a long way off from catching Columbus. For the city, it's not even close and Columbus is in no danger of ever being passed.

Yep. Last year I projected out the growth rates through 2030 and Columbus would maintain its overall position as it would pass some and would be passed by some. But really, it's hard to take any long term projection too seriously. The fact is that growth rates everywhere are down from where they used to be, and may change either way over the next several years.

As far as the metros go, the wild card is the possibility of counties being added when the next few reconfigurations are done for core based statistical areas; this is what allowed Charlotte to leapfrog Columbus during the last revisions.
