#24 now but should be in the top 15-20 within the decade.
Y'all may pass Sacramento, Pittsburgh and Portland (narrowly) but no way y'all are passing Denver within the Decade.
That leaves ya at 22. Still not quite top 20.
Further Y'all need to watch out for Orlando. It narrowed the gap between y'all from 67,000 to 8,000. Looks like Orlando might be passing y'all up as we speak.

These rates will NOT continue for every metro, especially this decade. I expect most to slow down because of the recession, but specifically those metros that grew at 20%-25% or more probably can't sustain that growth again. I may well be wrong, but it's a hunch.

I think Houston sped up after the recession hit. Enough so that it outpaced Atlanta, Riverside, Las Vegas, Phoenix and Dallas. All of these were supposed to gain more people, but then the recession hit and things changed.
All of the people coming here are wreaking havoc on our unemployment rate though. It is hard to keep up.
Don't forget guys, the target market is 18-30 year olds, so some metros might be close in terms of size but one will have the edge due to a younger/party scene (clubs, bars, unis, etc).
Between Detroit and New Orleans, which would you guys pick? (again, dont forget the target market)

I like both.
and if you were going for a big young metros, the absence of Houston is glaring.
Houston has one of the youngest populations among the major metros.

This is EXACTLY why some of these places will slow down.
1. NY (Boston and Philadelphia are close enough)
2. LA (San Diego is close enough)
3. Chicago (Detroit and Milwaukee are too close)
4. DC (Philly, Baltimore, etc)
5. Houston (The South East Texas Region)
6. SF (Bay Area, Sacramento, and Norcal)
7. DFW (North Texas, PanHandle)
8. Miami (all of Florida)
9. Atlanta (Birmingham and other Cities in that Area)
10. Seattle (Pacific NW)
11. Minneapolis (Cusp between the Far western mid west and the western states)
12. Phoenix (Lower Interior West)
13. Denver (Upper Interior West)
14. NOLA (Gulf Coast)
15. San Antonio (central Texas and S. Texas)
16. Columbus (Ohio and nearby areas)
17. St Louis
18. Charlotte
19. SLC
20. San Juan (For the Caribbean Territories)
dunno how Hawaii and Alaska would fit in
I think Miami would be good enough for the Caribbean territories...

nah, there are over 4M US residents in the Caribbean. Let Miami concern itself with Miami. Just because it is the closest Mainland metro to the Caribbean does mean it has to be up in the Caribbean's Grill. There is enough of a population base in the Caribbean itself with just the US residents. Throw in the rest of the Caribbean islands and you have a huge base
and if you were going for a big young metros, the absence of Houston is glaring.
.
Perhaps there's a good reason?
