Here are the MSA growth per year for those:
Austin: +89,050
Phoenix: +68,324
San Antonio: +45,748
San Diego: +40,875
Tampa: +29,818
2050 MSA projection:
Phoenix: 6,925,827
Austin: 5,278,269
San Diego: 4,730,313
Tampa: 3,975,943
San Antonio: 3,972,408
(Again, take projections with a grain of salt, for example rising prices and COL in Texas cities or Phoenix may put the brakes on high growth over time)
That is really interesting! I'm betting though that Austin's growth will not outpace San Antonio's. San Antonio is building the infrastructure to handle greater population than Austin. Also! Austin isn't the hot mecca it used to be in terms of future movers. I used to hear a lot about Austin when I moved from TX to LA, but now I'm hearing more and more about San Antonio being the new hot place for middle class family affordability. I've even met a few people heading that way once the year closes out and they sell their overpriced LA homes.
Fastest growing metros
1. Austin - 5.4%
2. Raleigh - 3.7%
3. San Antonio - 3.2%
4. Denver - 2.9%
5. Charlotte - 2.6%
6. Nashville - 2.6%
7. Oklahoma City - 2.6%
8. Orlando - 2.3%
9. Houston - 2.1%
10. Dallas 2.1%
Memphis, Chicago, Birmingham, Hampton Roads, New York, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Detroit, and a few others are among metros that lost population.
You are misreading the data. It is only about domestic migration and doesn't take into account international migration and natural population increase. NYC metro and Chicagoland metro haven't ever declined in population by any census measure.
Cities that derive the majority of their water supply from the Ogallala Aquifer (e.g., Austin, San Antonio, Dallas, OKC, et al.) are in big trouble, even more so than the cities that draw their water from the Colorado River (e.g., L.A., S.D., Phoenix, L.V., etc.), as the Ogallala is really in dire shape. I can't see this issue improving in the future either, esp. considering Austin, San Antonio, Dallas, OKC, et al. are currently among the fastest growing cities in the US and desalination seems like a less than optimal solution than for those cities compared to, say, cities in coastal California.
Those numbers are way off
Dallas is at 7.2million right now and to tell me that in 36 years it will only have 12 million klamo!
I believed that it will be around 17 million people because Dallas has alot of room to grow and the other metro areas that are near Dallas like Tyler/Longview to the east which is about 500,000 and cities to the north and south not to much east of Fortworth is major but Dallas.Dallas will have well over 12 million and Houston being close to the golden triangle will have more then the numbers show because Houston is a city that believes in annexing lol.People in my area always joke on how in the next 30 years Houston will be knocking at Nacogdoches/Lufkin area door.My question is how did L.A. take off from the fastest growing metro areas with over 20 million lol really!:c ool:

San Antonio and Austin are not light years away from each other but light seconds with New brunfels and San Marcus in between.San Antonio and Austin will be joined by 2050 making the numbers be around 10 million being larger then hot lanta lol klamo ok clam down Dee!!!!!!!
